If it’s on full, or closed, then the water should stay in. Also be sure your just beyond the detent stop. If that doesn’t work, then it’s either a slipped cable (clamp loose) or the valve is worn out.

If that valve has any kind of crud stuck inside of it then it will also allow water out. I have gone the same route as several others in that I do not use the valve at all. I have put a plug in the outlet of the livewells and use the pump in/pump out. Then I know that they always are either full or empty.
