Livewell not drawing water

[Fishin' DC's]

Last time I took the boat out the livewell would not draw in any water. The pump sounded like it was running, but no water was coming into the tank. The boat's an '04 210. I tried turning the seacock handle back and forth, as well as the black valve at the bottom of the livewell, but nothing worked. The raw water washdown worked fine. Any ideas as to how I should go about troubleshooting the livewell?

I would bet that you have grass in the lines or in the pump, we have a 05 19'0 bay boat, and have already went through 1 pump. The boats do not have a screen on the intake hole, and it just sucks up everything. We ended up building a screen, which meant cutting away some of the bunkboard on the trailer, and havent had a problem since. I have pics of the modifications, and will post them.

If your pump is like mine you compress two plastic catches and twist to snap your pump off the intake inside the bilge (a little tricky at first) then you should see what’s jamming you up. I wouldn’t think its too clogged if your wash down still works probably right at the pump.
