I recently bought a 2001 Champion. I just replaced my live well pump. Now it is pumping in so much water that the over flow drain cant keep up. It is overflowing. My last boat I was able to adjust how much water was coming in. I dont see this on this boat. Any Ideas?

I guess I should also mention that I have cleaned out the overflow drain. It seems to be working fine. Just to much water coming in.

It is the same...If there is a timer I have not seen where it is yet. I am still trying to figure out all the switches.I am sure its something obvious that I have not figured out yet.

if it is on auto it will come on when it needs to (when it needs more water) if it is on manual it will run continuous. put it on auto.
