Check your valve. You may have sand or something preventing it from fully closing. The valve is in your bilge area. Also, sometimes the wire slips off the plastic lever rendering your auto/empty selector useless. An alternative to replacing a faulty valve is to use a 5/8″ drain plug. Simply push the lever to empty and leave it alone. Then plug the drain w/ the plug at the beginning of your day and pull it after you retrieve your fish. It is fool proof. You will have to remove the screen to access the drain which I believe is the bottom hole in your port well.Last edited by rlb8s on May 20th, 2009, 10:29 am, edited 2 times in total.
