Where do you locate the seacock valve on a 1996 Grady white adventure 208? Live well pump is working but doesn’t pump water in it just buzz’s. Has to be the valve right? I can’t locate it anywhere. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Probably in aft compartment. Not likely valve. Probably the cartridge pump. No big deal.

Look under the aft jump seats, and see if you see a round black knob, slightly smaller than a golf ball. If so, that knob is on top of a ss shaft that opens and closes the seacock by pushing and pulling.

Or, live bait swims into the supply hose and jams it.
Happened to me twice this summer.
If the seacock is open, try turning on and off the switch many times, with a few seconds in between.
Then hopefully you will see a dead live bait in your livewell.

As far as locating the actual seacock, I assume that your boat is on a trailer. Just look under the boat, and see where the through hull strainer is. The seacock is right on top of that.

If your boat has the factory raw water washdown option, there are two sea cocks each with an external pickup (bronze strainer). If only livewell, there is one external strainer and a corresponding sea cock. To access the seacocks, you have to pull the 6 inch deck access covers in the motor well. One is left of the center and one is right (if washdown) . I don't remember which is which but you will see them ot it.
