Livewell pump crack
Hello mwhitaker,
I had to replace my livewell pump due to a crack in the pump casing. This was not easy to see. Noticed water collecting in the bilge during use. Checked that my drain plugs were tight, the problem was not there. The trick to me finding was I filled the bilge with a garden hose till the thru-hulls were covered and let it sit. After about 15 min., I had water dripping out of the livewell intake thru-hull. Disassembled the pump and thru-hull. I found the pump casing had a crack about 3/4 of the way around. This could not be seen since it was on the bottom side of the pump. You might want to look there, hope this helps.
