I have a 02 tracker that is having problems with the livewell.  It always empties out no matter what you have the switch set to.  It is a cable driven switch and the settings are 'auto' and 'empty'.  what happened was someone was playing with it and rotated a full 360 degrees.  I had to turn it back the other way and try to straighten the cable out.  But now it seems that it will not hold water in it.  Please respond if anyone knows about this problem.

The 90 degree valve is probably stripped and left in the empty position if forced beyond Empty. If it had been forced past Auto Fill, it would have locked in that position. I doubt it can be fixed. Replace it.

i kinda figured that was the problem, i just don't know the details.  The problem that i can see now is that the gas tank takes up most of the back compartment of the boat and it looks like that has to be removed to fix it.  any ideas on that?

Contact a tracker dealer and describe the problem and that you want to replace the whole live well control valve works. Ask a rigger or mechanic if there's anyway to get to the mechanism besides pulling the tank. They'll probably help you out.

if you have a pump, just fill it up with the pump and buy a small drain plug to put in the livewell if you want a quick easy fix.
