randy do you know if my 08 215 is made like that with the lever in the bilge because i was thinking that the livewell pump was just losing its prime i have been takeing the top off the livewell pump and letting water get in the pump and it will work untill i take the boat out of the water ever time i put the boat back in the water i have to do this . but my washdown has been working fine without any primeing problems . i can use both my washdown and livewell at the same time.so i guess there is no valve but why want the livewell pump prime itself. i know the dealer put the washdown in maybe i need to ask them ... thanks
