Halfway through the day yesterday I noticed that my live well pump was not pumping any water into the live well. It was making the same noise it always does, it just was not picking up any water. Does anyone have any ideas or advice as to what I should check first. I looked at the pickup on the bottom of the hull once we trailered the boat, thinking that maybe it was blocked but it was clear. Any advice would be appreciated.
air lock??
it sounds like it was trying to work…
what kind of boat and were is the pickup located?
Polar Flats 1788. The pickuo is on the bottom near the stern.
impeller broken
Second the “fins off the impeller” theory. At least a pump is cheap. Just replaced one on one of my boast for same reason.
