94 Troph 20' WA, live well drain??

[Mikesboats]

can't find any way to drain the live wells, only one opening in live well & thats where water is pumped in. I have not found any valves, drains etc. Can someone give me a hint. Purchased used & no owners manual. Many thanks in advance, Mikesboats

Usually they are all done by a bilge type pump located on the forward side of the tank. Need to get into the bilge and look around. Could possibly be some junk clogging up the pump itself. Do you know where the pump switch is??

pump works fine to pump water in, the switch does not have any kind of reversing of the motor in it, SPST switch, no valves in any of the plumbing from live well to pump & none from pump to through hull & only one opening in the live well itself. I'm beginning to think it's designed this way. I'm stumped, Thanks for the reply, Milesboats

If you can't get that figured out give Bayliner a call @ 877-861-6494. Have your HIN handy, they will ask for it. Also ask them to send you a replacement owner's manual, if in stock they will at no charge. Won't be a fancy color original issue but a mimeographed copy. What do you want for nothin'? LOL

thanks for the Bayliner ph. #, they answered my question, the pump is supposed to be a pump OUT some one has changed (or wired the pump) as a pump in. Thanks again for the help, Mikesboats
