I really don't know where to ask this. I have a 97 Crestliner 1650 Sportfish with a baitwell and livewell. The switch for the wells has a setting for baitwell, Livewell and both. There is a pump in the splashwell that powers on in the baitwell position but I have no idea where the Livewell pump may be and it doesn't appear to be working. The Livewell is in front of the winshield in the bow area of the boat. Does anyone know where that Livewell pump may be located? Thanks for any help.
Most systems use a manual diverter (valve) to move from bait to live well operation from a common pump.
If they are separate systems as the switch suggests, I would expect to find two separate supply inlets (thru hulls) unless the a single intake was sized to accommodate both pumps running at the same time. If that is the case, I would expect to see a tee on the input with a pump on each leg.
They could share a common return, but would expect to see a drain routed out of the hull up front if that was the case.
Are their seperate plumbing systems for each well?
Bear in mind that the plumbing (hoses) are 30 years old. They would have long since dry-rotted long. I would be very surprised if the plumbing systems wasn't replaced at least once since new.
Someone could have easily abandoned a live well they didn't use to save time and money during a retorfit.
