Winterized the boat last weekend, so finally getting around to livewell maintenance. Once the valve is out, the process looks straight forward, but getting the main valve out looks like a royal PITA! I read somewhere that you leave the valve assembly in place, remove the cable and just replace the flappers, but that looks like it would be really hard to work on in that tight space and couldn't imagine you could see what you were doing. For those that changed them, did you remove the whole assembly? If so, how?
Even after you cut off the crimped on hose clamps, it still looks like it would be tough to get out with the hard plumbing and hoses on both ends.
