Location: Lino Lakes, MN | I am looking for some help for a cousin who just bought a used Alimcraft 2003 model with the full windshield and a 140 Suzuki. The problem he is having is the livewell is filling up the boat with water. Can someone just fill me in on the basic's of how Alumicraft sets up their boats livewells. I am going off of information over the phone. I have a Lund and it seems very basic on how the systems work. His livewell fills up when he is running around and then overflows if I understand the problem.
Thanks

| My 2003 Alumacraft Tourny Pro has a high speed pickup mounted on the livewell intake at the transom (it is a piece of black plastic mounted over the intake), when the boat is on plane, it forces water into the system and will fill up the livewells without the pumps running. The only reason why it would fill up the livewell and then spill into the boat is if the drain is plugged.
Have him check the livewell drain, it must be plugged.
He can also stop water from coming into the livewell by turning off the livewell, you have to screw the spray nozzle shut inside of the livewell.
Hope this helps, it is kind of hard to describe.

| Thanks for help JWB475. I thought that may be what is going on. Do they have a overflow that just runs out the side? Thanks again.

| Yep, I think that is correct.
Also, if it is a Tournament Sport, they have remote drains, he may want to make sure that the drains are open too. |
