trolling speed,boat swings left to right,cant leave live well running to keep bait alive does not drain fast, may not be set up to leave running,just for fill up.first time chat on pc hope im in the right place
Cityman, do you have trim tabs on your boat? If you do you can lower the tabs all the way while trolling and that will stop the left and right swing.
If you do not have tabs you can trim the motor up and that will slow the left and right swing down.
As for the live well overflowing you should have a plastic valve installed on the water inlet pipe in the live well. You can regulate the incoming water flow with it. That will stop the overflowing. If you do not have a valve installed you can get one at most home improvement stores.
Also check the livewell drain on the bottom of the boat and make sure that the strainer is not plugged with something.
You are inthe right place. Good luck, Bob
