MontyFisher Posted November 26, 2018 Report Share Posted November 26, 2018 Is it normal for the livewells to fill even with the seacocks closed and just sitting at rest? I test rode a MA last week and both wells had water coming in from the livewell drains, which were unplugged, even sitting at rest. The seacocks were closed, and you could visibly see the water coming in from the large drain holes. Is this normal??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wthree3 Posted November 26, 2018 Report Share Posted November 26, 2018 Yes, it's normal. Seacocks control the inlets. Drains need to be plugged to keep the water out. Plugs available on Mbggear.com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hurricane Posted November 28, 2018 Report Share Posted November 28, 2018 As said above, yep normal. Bottom of main well is below the water line so water will come, the port side is prolly above the water line until a person walks back there. But plugs will keep water out.

MontyFisher Posted November 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2018 Thanks for input guys - motor was a mess, so I passed on purchase. At least now I know for the next one what is normal for the livewells. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
