1993 javelin livewell slow recirculating

[alumacraftmvtek]

I have a 93 javelin bass boat. It has a divided livewell. It has 2 fill pumps and 2 areator/recirculating pumps. Here is the problem. When i have it in manual recirculate everything pumps fine. When i switch to timed recirculate the water stream that pumps out is drastically reduced. I would say to almost half. So in manual i have a very heavy stream that will shoot all the way across the livewell on both sides of the livewell. When i put it on timed it will only shoot maybe half way across livewell on both sides. The timer is the orginal with the boat. I know both previous owners of the boat and they have never switched it. Could the timer be causing this??

The timer just turns the pump on, unless it has a motor speed control.

it does not have a motor speed control just a timer switch with 3 different timed setting. It confuses me that just switching from manual to timed would cause my water flow to slow. It seems to be all handled thru the same wiring harness the only variable i can see would be the timer switch, i am baffled on this

Have you considered that in Manual, the Recirc pump AND the Fill pump may be both operating.
In Automatic, the Recirc pump ONLY is operating.
