livewell help

SteveThe lever down low “auto”/”empty” is simply open/close. Put in “auto” to close valve.You have two aerator fill pumps. One on the round touch pad and one on the retctangular touch pad. Both will pump water into the livewell. The one on the rectangular pad can also be timed. You will notice that the button will have the numbers 3, 5, and manual. This is the rate at which the pump will come on. I may be wrong but “3” is 3 minutes between cycles and “5” is 5 minutes between cycles and of course manual is “on” all the time. The recirculation is the same as far as time.The aerator fill switch on the circular touch pad is a “manual” operation. Once on, it will stay on all the time.The button labeled as “pump out” on the circular keypad is simply aerator “pump out”. Push this button to pump out all the water in the livewell back into the lake or river for culling purposes or for weigh in purposes.Hope that helps! Good luck in you tournament!

Steve,Check with your dealership or our Service Dept to make sure your aeration is functioning. It sounds like a wire might be reversed if you are pumping out when you hit the aeration on the A-Ten touch pad, which is on the right and is rectangular. The circular one should pump out. BCB

Swap the wires down at the respective pump/s would be the simplest fix. If email isnt working, you can always call Bass Cat at 870-481-5135.

That is the correct email address and both emails came in and we did respond to both of them as well. Perhaps they were booted by your spam filtering system. Regardless, please give us a call and well get your problems resolved.BCB

We have established our position on livewell control valves a few times. They tend to fail occasionally and can be more confusing when not operated properly, which is most often the case. In your case it sounds like the cable has come loose. The panel should twist out, as it is not held in standard with a rear mount. Those small black screws will have to be removed also. BCB

You betcha! Sorry for the trouble. We polled owners a couple seasons back on whether they wanted to remove the valve or not. THe resounding opinion was to leave the valve. Jussoyaknows! BCB

Several different pumps in a livewell system. One will pull from the transom and fill livewell. One can be connected to the livewell control valve, one can be connected to the livewell and used to recirc and one can be to pump out. which pump is it?
