    Flow rite valve

    Got a 2004 stratos 200 proxl and I need to replace the livewell valve. I looked at the flow rite webpage and just want to make sure I get the right valve. I have the recirc/empty/auto controls. I’m pretty sure I need system 3 valve. Correct? Also, how do I know which cable approach I need? My controls are located to the right of the drivers seat. Thanks!

    If I'm not mistaken there is a part number on the valve, It's been years since I changed mine. That should eliminate any guessing.

    You can take four screws out of your old housing and put the new guts in its a lot easier I just did mine. I would recommend putting in a new cable while your at it, there is a small o ring that's kind of tricky. Mine leaked after I put it back together going out this weekend to see if I fixed it.

    My 08 had about a nine foot cable only needed six or seven I think the longer cable shortened the life

    So what i did was buy a new one and replace it swapped the housing and tightened it works no problems. But i would recommend is put the cable in first then put the guts into the housing. Goodluck!!!!!
