Hobie XL Livewells

[alanw]

The switch on my XL tank started giving me problems last weekend. When I slide the switch to the on position nothing happens, but if I tap on the switch it starts working. It's like something inside is sticking. Not sure if I have the original switch before they fixed it or not, bought it about a year and a half ago. Anyone else have this happen?

That sounds like the internals are cracked which was the original issue. Contact Hobie customer service and they'll mail you a replacement kit. All you have to do is unmount the old one, splice the new one in with the parts in the kit and re mount it.

Wow that was easy, thanks! Just called them up and new switch is on the way, no hassle from Jerry at Hobie warranty dept. Excellent customer service!
