[QUOTE="LOV2HNT, post: 304683, member: 482"] Took my father in laws old Lund out for the first time two weeks ago. It had been sitting in his pasture for at least 6 years and wasn't in any shape to fish out of so I dumped some money into it and was able to salvage it. Anyway when I put the new trolling motor on I must of been drinking cause I mounted it too far back so when you deployed the trolling motor it wouldn't lock in. I was able to MacGyver a fix though and use it for the day. Figured I better make sure the livewell pump worked so I pulled the switch and yup water was going into the livewell although not a steady stream like if thought it would. A little later the wind came up and I was fishing the ditch and out of the corner of my eye I see water coming up through the floor up in the bow. Open the hatch and water was up to the top. Pulled the bilge switch...nothing. Started to panic at this moment. Fired up the motor and started taking off for the ramp, but it was so full of water I couldn't get it up on plane, she just plowed water the whole way back. Finally get it loaded up and everything drained and started to investigate why she filled up with water. Turns out when I turned on the livewell pump a hose had come disconnected and was pumping water into not only the livewell but the hull as well. Got everything fixed and am gonna give it another whirl this weekend. [/QUOTE]
