The aerator is the livewell unless this boat has separate livewell and aeration pumps.

I believe the aerator switch is the one you're looking for. Should have 3 positions - manual, off and automatic.

Or a bad fuse. If you have a test light or voltmeter and know how to use it, check for power at the INPUT (LINE) side of the switch. If no power there, work back to the source which is typically the fuse panel. If you have 12 volts at the switch, turn the switch on and check the OUTPUT (LOAD) side. No power there the switch is bad (highly unlikely). If 12 votls is present check for power at the pump. If 12v is present the pump is bad. If not, the wiring between the switch and the pump is bad.
