Baitwell in rear starboard will not engage. is there a manual for DIY repair? Also horn no longer works. Suggestions? lastly, hit a sandbar recently with both engines kicking up but did not lose power. Concerned that sand got into lower unit. My mechanic moved to NC. I am in Marco Island. What are the risks of using it until next 100 hour maintenance service? thank you.

If your motors are peeing fine i suspect your water pumps are fine for another 100hrs
The starboard live well has a seacock that needs to be open port side, there is an inlet valve in the well that also needs to be open. Oh, and you need to close the drain valve below the well for it to fill.
Water should rush in by either activating the switch or while underway via the pick up.
Welcome

Welcome phillybama! Cape Coral neighbor shouting at you. I had to replace the horn in my 2017 275 DC...I think the membrane that is supposed to keep water out of the horn just rotted away in the sun, and once gone the horn got wet and that was it for the toot. They aren't too expensive if it's like the one I have. Good luck but if you can verify voltage pulses with the horn button, my guess is the horn gave up the ghost.

Hey, welcome aboard. Sounds like fishnfool nailed the livewell problem for you. It's probably setup differently than my 245 DC, but in mine, the livewell and raw water washdown share the same seacock, but have different pumps, frequently, my baitwell won't pump water, but if I turn on the washdown, then it will start and keep pumping all day. I have replaced the pump and have same problem occasionally, I kind of assume it's some kind of drylock problem.
