X FACTOR LIVE WELL - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

crashcrow · 11-06-2012, 11:13 AM

I have the Malibu live well on my XFactor and I think water is getting in the hull through the hatch where the well sits. Anyone else have this problem? Any good ideas on how to seal it better?

Thanks, Mike

These are not as popular as they once were however the situation can best be fixed by using turn-buckles to tighten the tank down against the hatch so that the gasket is somewhat compressed. Also be sure that the tank is draining through a hose and not just running down the side of tank and into hatch.

Ok that makes sense now... I bought it used, there is no gasket. Ill be sure to post pics of how I fix it.
