Livewell pump replacement


Recommended Posts

I've done two of them on two different pro-v's From what I recall it was nothing to difficult, seemed like there was two wires for electrical, and the pump itself had a plastic nut on the outside of the transom and a simple hose clamp for the line inside, then just pulled the old pump out, snipped and marked the wires, installed the new pump with the water flow as instructed, retightened the nut and reattached the inside line and clamp, reattached wires as they were before, I may have put some silicone or sealant around the nut after I tightened it just to be on the safe side, the only thing I remember being a problem was trying to access the pump under everything. I am by no means an expert, lol so If i can do it I know that almost anyone else can.

Yea we got had to replace all three if ours last year. Usually its just the motor so its a quick pull of the wires apart and a twist of the motor put in the new one and your good to go.

First, if you have a 12 volt test light or circuit tester, verify that it is in fact the pump. If it is the pump then Bigeye pretty much explained it. Clean up the old silicone and be sure to apply new silicone around the nut. I usually put some on the flange on the inside as well as between the nut on the outside and transom.

Not sure how to do that Wish, haven't done one yet. But it sounds like you have the same boat as me. Is your's tiller or console? I have the console one with a 75 merc.

Mines a console with a 50 Yamaha. Wish I had a 75 hp because it's a little under powered. It is a 2002 Alumacraft Navigator 165 CS. It is the same boat as the newer Classic 165 CS.

If the motor is mounted thru-hull (and not just the remote pickup) be sure to put some sealant on both mounting flanges prior to tightening the nut to assure a good seal.

Also, don't overtighten the nut - it's a plastic part and if you overtighten it you'll snap the threads off and have to start all over again.

Good luck!

Very good point.

One more thing I forgot to mention, is when ever space permits solder the connections and use heat shrink. Very damp conditions down there. Its possible that the problem you have is corrosion related.

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
