IMPORTANT MEMO: 60 Incorrect Livewell valves & Information

The dealer I bought the boat from is around 300 miles from my house – there are/were no dealers in Georgia when I chose to purchase a Bass Cat.

I don’t have a problem with the 3 position valve, I don’t understand how the livewell is filling up when it was closed when I put the boat in the water. I don’t have a problem removing the screen and plugging the lower hole inside the livewell (I don’t think it is too complicated), I don’t understand how plugging the lower hole is going to help, when the valve was in the closed position – I didn’t run any of the pumps to put water in it. My question is how is the water getting into the livewell? Should I be leaving the valve in the empty position, at least then when I travel from 1 spot to the next it should drain? Sorry to post questions each day.

Thanks for the response – I’ll put it in the water, try both “closed” positions and look in the livewell to see where the water is coming in from – then I’ll call.

I have the green arm valve. I quess i need a new label and i will install. thought it was odd the way it worked and got to looking down there when i put the detwiler on.

Here is how my livewell works in relation to your last post, 10 – closed, 12 – empty, 2 – ? don’t know the correct term but it fills automatically when you put it in the water. I reviewed all of the posts concerning this situation and didn’t find anything that explains what I needed after I happened upon the empty in the 12 position. I’m not new to fishing just never had much need for a livewell and the dealer rep that went over the boat with me said he didn’t fish, anyway I am fine with the livewell operation now.

I hope to forward my boat number tomorrow to get the new decal – sorry for all of the confusion.
