Live well seals

[Buoy-Master]

Just wondering if anyone else has issue, specially on a Stratos,with the seals leaking when the live well is on recycle?</p>

</p>

After loading up this week in CBA and getting my fish out of the well, most of my water was gone! It came in full!! Looks like I may have to cap off the rear drains. </p>

Wonder if those seals are something that can be changed without having to change the entire system?</p>

BBass get some clorox and pour about a cup in each livewell work valves back and and then shut off valves closed position let sit a couple hours then flush system with fresh water should fix the problem

If it has the flow rite valves, very common valve, you can buy the replacement flaps $4. They are a pretty simple sytem. The water trying to go out is what seats the flap. The clorox trick may work to remove the slime. I have never heard of it, but makes sense. I don't know what the effects of bleach would be on the system. Just a thought.

You should have a V3 valve. Here is the website. Look at the very bottom of the page for the rebuild kit for $10. In my book they list just the flaps for $4 so the kit would be better and cheaper in the long run. Hop this helps.</p>

i also noticed that the cable that goes to the valve had slipped and just needed to be readjusted. has a set screw that goes to the valve,

Good point!!!! Couldn't hurt to check!! It is more common for them to actually leak internally.
