live-well drain valve

[easyman37379]

i know y'all have been asked this probably a hundred times but what valve are you replacing the RDV-2-190T with?94 20XD live-well drain valve.thanks

[barbarian]

I used a standard valve -
Flow-Rite MV-01-FN01 V1 Drain Valve
Put a thru hull fitting in livewell

[easyman37379]

did u use 90 degree elbow thru hull fitting.u dont happen to know the number of the thru the hull fitting would u? thanks

[barbarian]

No. Just a standard straight. Put about 6-8" of hose then the flow rite valve then another 2+/- feet of hose straight shot to back of boat to original thru hull fitting. I think the original lever in live well will operate that valve. Mine broke so I also ordered a new lever. It was smaller so I had to make a washer to cover the existing hole

[easyman37379]

thanks man.i was told to call roger at flow-rite and ask him about getting a updated live well system.i did and found out he doesn't work inside any more.i talked to a woman and i dont think she knows what a bass boat is.

It’s really a pretty simple project once you pull the tank.

[easyman37379]

yep i have pulled it twice.the first time it was very easy to get out but the second time was a bear.cool weather/warm weather

I cut my drain channel next to my live well in half the length of the tank makes it really easy

crank - you lost me there. can you explain?

[easyman37379]

yeah me too

[crank68]

The entire rear compartment has a drain channel around it. I cut it in half running the length/parallel with the tank on the live well side. This makes the opening larger. I needed that extra room on mine. Tank comes straight up and out.

I replaced my valve with Flow Rite V4's. This one has dual 800 GPH recirc pumps setup for fill/drain, recirc, and pump out. I haven't wired them yet, but that will be done soon. The valves are screwed on to the bottom of the pumps and placed as far forward as possible. Just barely enough room for the fuel tank behind them. Still dry fitting that's why things are kinda oddly positioned.

I have my old valve if you are interested in it.

What would you take for it, mines broke again

Anyone know of where I can get one of the old th-marine controls for the livewell drain? Mine is broke and I guess they are discontinued.

I recently looked and called everywhere with no luck. You might try and all Circle D Boats in Beaumont. He is a Bullet dealer and I heard he might have some left overs.

Is this what ya'll need?

These came out of my boat and I have no need for them. If you cover shipping, I'll send them to ya.

[Bullet 250]

I'll take them if Collins don't need them, I don't fish very many tournaments, I have mine plugged right now

[Bullet 250]

Actually, mine screws into the screen in the livewell, mine is a little different

[collins4]

Yes that’s what I’m looking for.

Not sure if they still have it but the Tracker Marine at Bass Pro Shops in Kodak/Sevierville had one hanging on the pegboard in the parts department a while back. They had 3 and I bought 2 of them.
