I've currently got 2 livewells that automatically fill when the boat is in the water and when these 2 valves are manually opened. The valves are controlled with a cable like a bicycle shifter cable. The cables seem to be stuck and the location of the valves in the stern hatch makes it difficult to really to a lot of work on them or to even manually use pliers to open and close them when on the water. I was wondering what other options exist and how I could go about changing the valves into maybe electric pumps that I can use to fill and/or drain the wells. I also have aerator pumps that I think spray water into the wells when I flip the switch on. I haven't had the boat on the water to test everything, but I did notice that the water levels were quite low when I have the valves open and was sitting at the dock. Maybe I'm misunderstanding how these are supposed to work - are the wells topped off by the aerator or will then only fill to a set level based on how low the boat is sitting in the water?
So, basically I want to know if I can change out the valves and/or the aerator pumps and have put in some kind of pump that will fill and empty the wells.
