Wash / Livewell pump - unwanted water flow

[abl1111]

Trayder and Dave,

Thx - both good advice !!!

Personally, I cannot believe that the plastic cap does not stop this water flow. At a dead standstill I turned the pump on w/ the cap on and she sprayed everywhere - that cap might be shot - although it does have the rubber washer in it ( it's a brand new Perko )...

If I can pull the boat again - I will either drill holes or grind the slits more aft on the intake scoop ( Dave is this a theory or you know it to help ? )

And, Trayder, I was trying to avoid a valve mounted on the stern of the boat - but if I have to I will. I think the picture you showed is a valve made by White Cap, possibly.

Do you think just attaching a hose w/ a spray nozzle ( closed ) would do the trick too ? I want to try that 1st, rather than install the valve...

Thx guys
