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 counter-
clockwise 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.
