First let me say Bass Cat makes a great boat especially for rough water. I just bought my first bass cat and I cant figure out what the hole at the drivers feet is for. It looks like some type of storage compartment. Also the live well fills half full when i put it in the water, is it suppose to do that? Tim

That would be for your throwable cushion. Some stick a dip net under there also. BCB

Well, you can knock me over with a feather. I have owned my 97 PII since new and I never even thought about that. It does a good job of collecting leaves though I now know where to put my throwable cushion. Why didnt I think of that sooner

No. It is not supposed to do that. Does it hold water when on the trailer? You probably need to replace your valve. I have a 97 PII DC and had to replace the valve. I get a lot of sand in mine and have to flush out out or it fills. If I remember correclty the new value operation is reverse of the original push pull scheme. Throwable cushion – I would of never guessed. I put my bump board there.

It does hold water. I have to pull the drain to make it drain. When I put it in the water it fills about 5″deep.

With the handle pulled it should not take on water, only pressed in to fill. BCB

Yep, if the handle is pulled out and you are taking on water you might want to back flush the valve. FWIW, the valve is a thin piece of rubber that can get damaged. I had similar problems only the livewell wouldnt stay full on the trailer. I was able to get a repair kit from the manufacturer. I believe BCB parts can get them also. Also, the valve doesnt cost that much to replace and is not a major chore to do.
