you either have a nut or rock or debris holding it slightly open or a hole in that emptying livewell hose.  you can adjust that shutoff valve cable also  maybe it slipped and isnt pulling the ball closed all the way

When turning the valve control knob/dial, it doesn't move as freely as the other one does. I believe it's a problem with the cable binding up, or the valve itself binding up. I'm not even sure where this valve would be located in order for me to get to it.

Anyone know if you can cut into the side of the gunnel on the bow to install the retractable belts for holding rods down on the bow deck?

I've had excellent results calling Ranger parts with similar questions, most those guys been around a while and know the older models, and may even have a recommendation for which unit works best, I'd start there. Also, join the FaceBook Ranger Bass Boat Owners group and post your question there, you're likely gonna find someone that owns the same model answer.

I was gonna suggest calling Ranger too, since they would know what might or might not be located inside of that gunwale area.  :nod:

I can tell u inside the gunwhales there is foam floatation so make shallow cuts just through the glass as not to pierce any wiring harness on the port (passenger) side you will have to spoon out the foam. No real good way to cut it out. About 2 1/2 inches deep  Ive done a few retractable rod hold downs i never saw anything structural to worry about but it is messy. have a shop vac handy while u cut through and wear long sleeve shirt. pref a throw away. You dont want to put that shirt in the washing machine with your underwear. OMG you will be itching for weeks.   Not really that big a deal
