Valves
OPEN
In the OPEN position, the valve is wide open and
water will flow freely in either direction.
CLOSED
In the CLOSED position, the valve is shut off on both
sides and water is not allowed to pass in either
direction.
FILL
EMPTY
In the EMPTY position of systems 2 & 3, water is
allowed to exit the livewell drain, but is not allowed
to enter. For system 4, EMPTY allows water to pass
in either direction.
In the FILL position, the pump receives outside
water only.
RECIRC
In the RECIRC position, the pump receives water
from the livewell only. Outside water is blocked.
PUMP OUT
In the PUMP OUT position, livewell water is pumped
out of the boat.
Valves
Valve Positions
AUTO
When on plane, the AUTO position allows water to
enter the valve and pump from both outside and
from the livewell. When on plane, the outside port is
closed to prevent water loss and livewell water
continues to enter the valve and pump for recirculation.

Operating Positions
OPEN
Both ports are wide open for flow in both
directions.
The V1 valve provides remote drain control and eliminates the need
for drain plugs and standpipes. A short 60˚ cable throw provides more
support, strength, and smoothness than long 90˚ throws used with
conventional valves. Features dual seals for positive shut-off in the
“CLOSED” position and a straight unrestricted flow path in the “OPEN”
position. This valve is non-directional.

Qwik-Lok and Barbed versions
The Qwik-Lok version features O-ring seals
for use with Qwik-Lok quick connect sockets
(MA-014). Qwik-Lok enables the valve or
complete valve pump assembly to be removed
for service with two fingers. No tools are
required.
Attaching the Cable to the Valve
Insert the cable “Z” bend from the valve cap
side and position the clamp directly behind
the enlarged section of cable jacket as shown.
Installing the Cable to the Actuator
Insert cable wire through hole in brass arm
as shown. Then, position cable assembly into
brass bracket U-slot and secure finger tight
with knurled nut. Carefully push assembly
into 1-3/4” mounting hole and secure with
two P/N MD-093 screws. (#6-32, truss head,
black oxide, stainless steel.)
Cable Approach
The V1 valve is unidirectional and, although the ports are marked “TRANSOM” and “LIVEWELL”, they can be installed in
either position.

V2 Two-Position Automatic
Operating Positions
AUTO
The V2 is our reversible check valve that allows a single pump to not
only perform the basic livewell functions necessary to keep your catch
alive, but does it in a passive or automatic manner. By mounting the
pump to the valve body, the operator only has to decide whether he
wants his livewell functioning or empty. When the first fish is caught,
place the valve in the “AUTO” position and turn on the pump. When the
boat is off plane the pump will recirculate and aerate the livewell water
and simultaneously blend in a portion of fresh lake water. Used livewell
water is expelled out the overflow as fresh water enters to prevent any
ammonia build up.
Check flapper in front of transom port
allows fresh water to enter when off plane,
but not exit. Will automatically close when
boat is on plane or pump is turned off.
Livewell port remains open for recirculation
of livewell water.
When the boat is put on plane, the valve’s check flapper will prevent
water loss out the drain, and allow the pump to continue its recirculation
duties. Any water lost out the overflow while running on plane is
automatically made up when the boat is brought off plane at the next
fishing location. All this is accomplished without any operator assistance.
To empty, simply turn off the pump and move the valve to the “EMPTY”
position for gravity draining.
Check flapper in front of livewell port allows
water to exit through transom drain.

The valve body is threaded for mounting the inlet of a
centrifugal pump. Use a hacksaw to remove all but about
1-1/4” to 1-1/2” of threads on the pump inlet, apply Teflon
tape and mount directly to valve. A 700 to 800 GPH pump is
recommended for best performance.

Cable Approach
Front Approach
Rear Approach
The V2 valve has two cable approach options. The cable can
approach the valve from either the front/livewell or the rear/
transom side of the boat.
Only specify PEF for higher profile walleye and bay boats
where the livewell overflow is 8”-12” above lake level. If it’s
more than 12” use the V4 valve. PEF is not generally required
for low profile bass boats.
While off plane, in the AUTO position, water enters the valve
from both the livewell drain and the transom thru-hull. As
the water level in the livewell increases so does the pressure
on the transom check feature of the valve, reducing the ratio
of fresh to recirculated water. When this pressure is too
great, PEF insures that enough fresh water is added to force
the upper used water out.

V3 Three-Position Automatic
Operating Positions
AUTO
Like the V2, the V3 is a reversible check valve that allows a single pump
to not only perform the basic livewell functions necessary to keep your
catch alive, but does it in a passive or automatic manner. It also has
a third closed “RECIRC” position. By mounting the pump to the valve
body, the operator only has to decide whether he wants his livewell
functioning or empty. When the first fish is caught, place the valve in the
“AUTO” position and turn on the pump. When the boat is off plane the
pump will recirculate and aerate the livewell water and simultaneously
blend in a portion of fresh lake water. Used livewell water is expelled out
the overflow as fresh water enters to prevent any ammonia build up.
Check flapper in front of transom port
allows fresh water to enter when off plane,
but not exit. Will automatically close when
boat is on plane or pump is turned off.
Livewell port remains open for recirculation
of livewell water.
When the boat is put on plane, the valve’s check flapper will prevent
water loss out the drain, and allow the pump to continue its recirculation
duties. Any water lost out the overflow while running on plane is
automatically made up when the boat is brought off plane at the next
fishing location. All this is accomplished without any operator assistance.
For those times when outside water is not wanted or available, such as,
adding ice, livewell additives, going through locks, traveling to out of
water weigh-ins, dockside refueling or using our optional Pump-out /
Venturi Aerator, place the valve in the “RECIRC” position.
To empty, simply turn off the pump and move the valve to the “EMPTY”
position for gravity draining.
Transom port is sealed to prevent water
from entering or exiting. Livewell port is
open for recirculation of livewell water on
and off plane.

V4 Three-Position Select
Operating Positions
FILL
The V4 valve allows a standard aerator pump to be mounted directly to
the valve body for both filling and recirculation duties, thus eliminating
the need for 2 separate pumps and additional plumbing. When in the
“FILL” position, the valve will close the livewell drain side of the valve
so the pump has free access to fresh outside water. Once the livewell is
full, the valve is placed in the “RECIRC” position to close the drain and
allow full recirculation of the livewell water. Occasionally returning to
the “FILL” position will keep the livewell topped off and freshened. The
“EMPTY” position allows gravity draining with the pump off.
Any additional fill or recirculation pump is optional and only becomes
a true back-up to the main system pump. Once the system is put into
the “AUTO” position and the pump turned on, all livewell functions are
handled so the angler can concentrate on fishing.
Spring loaded button flapper blocks livewell
port while transom port is open for pump to
fill with fresh water.
RECIRC
Transom port is sealed to prevent water
from entering or exiting. Livewell port is
open for recirculation of livewell water on
and off plane.

V5 Two-Position Pump-Out
Operating Positions
RECIRC
The V5 valve, when placed into the recirculation hose from the pump
to the aerator head, will allow the operator to select either “RECIRC”
—which allows water to continue on it’s path to the aerator head for
recirculation, or “PUMP-OUT” —which diverts the water taken from the
livewell for recirculation and discharges it through the pump-out thruhull fitting. Primarily used to fill tournament bags with freshly aerated
water or for emptying the livewell when the boat is docked without
having to trailer the boat or run on-plane with the drain open.
Water from the recirculation pump enters
the valve body and is diverted to the valve
transom port and through the pump-out
discharge fitting while the valve livewell
port is sealed.

To Aerator
The V5 valve can be used with any recirculation pump or with any FlowRite system with a designated “RECIRC” mode as with valves V3 and
V4. The Qwik-Lok version provides the maximum installation flexibility
and ease with “360˚ Plus” inlet connection. A Qwik-Lok hose section
can enter from any direction and swivel with the appropriate Qwik-Lok
socket; 360˚ with the 90˚ socket or straight in with the straight socket.
You only need to specify front or rear cable approach. The barb versions
will require front or rear cable approach, plus choosing between a
straight or elbow inlet fitting. If choosing an elbow, you will need to
choose the direction of the elbow.
Water from the recirculation pump enters
the valve body and is diverted to the
livewell aerator while the transom port is
sealed.
