Are the drains suppose to be opened or closed when using the livewells. Will the timer work the aerator and recirculation and what do you need to have on while fishing.

When the drain is open water can come in and go out from the lake. Closing the drain does not allow water to drain from live well but you are able to pump water into the wells. The recirc also works with drains closed as you do not want water from the outside to get in and the good water on the inside is recirculated. Are you really confused now?

If you need to replace the water, you can run the fill pumps and it will drain out the overflow...I also use my recirc pump when I do this, so it mixes the new watyer to the bottom... The recirc power at the console will run the recirc poumps that use water from the livewells to aerate the fish.. They are on when the switch is on and have no timers... The front timers are for the livewell fill pumps...They will bring water in from the lake...The switches on the bow control manual fill or timed fill depending on position and the center switch should change the timer on/off time ...To operate these switches, you must turn on the power to these switches, using the fishing aerator switch at the console... Hope this helps ... Russ
