Turn on the pump. The pump needs
to be primed for water to flow into the
Livewell. Propel the kayak forward at a
swift speed. This will force water into the
intake tube, prime the pump, and start
filling the tank.
Filling the tank
Holding Water
If you want to eliminate water flow,
you can place the cap over the water
inflow tube after it is full to prevent the
water from draining when the switch is
turned off.

clockwise and pull up to open
the drain. Once the drain is all
the way up, turn it slightly to the
left or right to hold the tube in
the up/open position.

Draining the Tank
Tank Care
Because the Livewell assembly contains electric components, use care storing it.
Proper maintenance is vital to keeping your Livewell working properly.
• Washing
Keeping your well and pump clean by washing it in fresh water and letting it dry.
This will help to prevent salt and mineral corrosion.
• Battery Care
When not in use, unplug the battery from the Livewell and keep it stored in a
dry place. If you are storing the battery for a long time, be sure to fully charge it
before storing. Recharge the battery once a month during long term periods of
storage.
• Mildew and Odor Prevention
When storing, you should allow the inside of the Livewell to dry and keep the
hatch open to allow for airflow.
