i have the worst luck with livewell pumps. I seem to go through one every 18 months.
First i would check what FF said, primarily starting with the seacock at the thruhll.
If not of that, it could easily be your pump. Unless you have the top of the top of the top of the line, they all seem to be made of the cheapest scrap metal and junk plastic that they can find, and go to sh!t very fast in a saltwater environment.

Zac-
You don't know me, but I know your boat because I part time at the Kayak Centre in the summers (I teach middle school during the year). Are you trailering this year?
Thanks for the tips.

Assuming you have a good bronze sea cock,
start with the sea cock, disconnect the hose from that, open the valve (quickly) to see if water comes rushing in.
Continue from there to the livewell till you find the clog.
Or maybe your pump is just no good ???

right now my boat is at the next dock down behind the bank, but only until my dad gets his boat in, and then i will trailer for the rest of the summer. I will miss being at my old dock, but $2K+ buys a lot of gas...
Good Luck, let us know how you make out with the pump! |

The pumps usually only last one season with heavy use. I replace mine every year... |

You need to go to a better pump like this
http://www.go2marine.com/product.do?no=44138F
than the one you are using !
We go years on our huge pumps, and i'll guarantee our livewells get used more !  |

my last pump cost $199 shipped, and that was the best deal I could find on the web. It was not an "el cheapo".
I will try anything at this point, though. The Rule pump that you linked says "will not self prime and must be mounted below waterline." That won't work for me. Are you sure this is the model you are using, Ronnie?

Only downside is if drifting without running the engine these pumps suck the juice!!!!!!
