Ranger RT series Livewell Systems - How They Work

[Bill Reynolds]

I had an occasion to create a multiple page PDF document to explain how the Ranger RT Series livewell systems work and why they don't. This covers the 3 systems that evolved from the original 2013 non-recirculate to the current recirculate/pump out version. It also explains how to convert a non-recirculate to a circulate system.

Handy info. I just had to change out my V3, three position automatic valve. I didn't blow the live well lines out in time this winter and the bottom of the valve cracked out. I just replaced the valve and the pump as an assembly which is easier than trying to just replace the valve. Saved the old pump cartage as a spare.

I completely changed the livewell pump and moved the battery charger to the driver side on my 178. I can now reach back and change a cartridge without having to pull the batteries. Figured it would make life easier while not being on the water this winter.

Thanks, Hope it helps.
When I created this document, I forgot about the early systems having an overflow problem. I added another page with the fix for this problem and re-posted to my cloud drive. This link will take you to the new version.
BTW: You have to download to read the document, you can't open it on the cloud drive.
