    I can not get water pumped in to my front livewell on my 1850 fish hawk. There is one pump in the rear of the boat that supplies water to the rear and front livewells. I have tried closing the rear livewell valve and opening the front and still no water. Some of the research I have done indicates a possible “air lock” in the water line that runs to the front. Has anyone had similar problems? Any sugestions for a possible fix? Thanks in advance.

    It might be clogged up with junk, take a garden hose and run it full blast into the hole where the water comes into the livewell and see what come out the other end.

    If it’s not plugged, (I’ve had my nozzle plug up) sometimes I just have to throw the boat in reverse a bit to throw some water towards the pump and then it works. Heck the first time out with my boat, I had to try the live well, flipped the switch and nothing , I just so happened to bring along the Lund owners manual, and this is what it told me to do, worked like a charm. Now if I only caught enough fish to use it
