Skeeter SX Livewell System

Familiarize yourself with the three controls for the Skeeter SX livewell system.

• The Livewell Control ACTUATOR positions the Flow-Rite 3-position (RECIRC/EMPTY/AUTO) automatic

control valve into the desired operating mode.

• The electrical AERATOR switches control the power to either the Port or Starboard aerator pump.

These switches can be placed in the MANUAL position for continuous duty, or the AUTO position for intermittent
use.

NOTE

When in the AUTO position an automatic timing feature is enabled, which allows the pump to run in a
one (1) minute on/two (2) minute off cycle. This cycle will continue until such time that the timer is
moved to another position other than AUTO.

1. Place control valve actuator in the AUTO position.

2. Turn on the livewell aerator pump.

3. Keep fishing.
