My Stratos has a cable operated valve to drain my livewell. It hasn't worked since I got the boat, stuck in the closed position. And guess where the drain hose and valve are located. Right, under the fuel tank. I bypassed the valve and got a drain plug for inside the livewell. Back in business.

Fun isn't it. I need a new cable for my port side. After I replaced all of mine about a year later the cable bent at the operation lever. They don't make the exact cable anymore :banghead:
That looks like it was just way to much fun.
Good job.. Work, but fun...
Glad mine is all wide open, got to do the re-circ sometime. Looks like you got it figured out, I'll just drop it by there, good job!!
It wasn't as bad as I had figured. I had burnt my gas down to about 5 gallons so the tank wasn't too heavy. If my bilge pump quits I'll have to remove the tank again but at least I know how now.
Looks like you got it figured out Scott, glad to know you can do that type of stuff, now who to call.. lol
good job Scott
I hate doing crap like that

What he said!
good job , it will keep you out of trouble .
I'm having similar problems. Just broke my 3rd 3way switch on the cable in 7 months. Planning on fixing it just like you did next time I'm at Toledo Bend. Found a shop that promised to do it for under $100. Hoping it won't really cost more than double. lol. Then I will be able to just pump and drain. It already has an overflow. That is on a 2013 20 ft Xpress. You would think they would have come up with something electronic instead of mechanical by now. You did a good job Scott, I have way too much belly and too short legs to do it myself.rotfl
Just finished replacing both valves and one of the controls on my Ranger. Bought all the stuff directly from Flow-Rite, they have a real good web sight and also sell the cables in all different lengths.
Scott, go ahead and install a second automatic bilge pump while you have it torn apart. Can't be too careful.
I've done put it back together but I've got Steve a siphon hose.Quote:
