Your Livewell Aeration System

YOUR LIVEWELL AERATION SYSTEM
The livewell aerator system in a Ranger boat is designed to supply the water and oxygen necessary to the
survival of your catch. This patented system not only allows fresh water to be pumped in through the aerator supply
line(s), but also permits recirculation and aeration at any speed of boat operation.
The recirc position (with aerator running) will only recirculate what water is in the well. It does not bring in any
fresh water. This position provides a more positive seal and is good to use if you are going to transport live fish in
the well.
The auto position also holds the water in the well and in conjunction with the aerator will allow a mix of fresh
water intake and recirculate existing water. This would be the normal position for a day of fishing. The empty position
is just that, to empty the water from the well.
On models without digital switching, the livewell aerator timer located on the driver’s console, controls the off
time of the aerators when the pump switch is in the automatic position. The timer starts and stops the pump at
intervals determined by the setting on the timer. Full counterclockwise is minimum off time and full clockwise is
maximum off time. To have the aerator pumps run continuously, set the pump switch to the manual position.
LIVEWELL PUMP-OUT
Your new Ranger may be equipped with a livewell pump-out system. To use this pump out feature, put the
livewell control valve in the recirc position and pull out on the aerator spray head. Turn on the aerator and the water
in the well will be emptied. To fill the livewell and resume normal operation, push the aerator spray head in and set
the livewell valve to the auto position.
