Does anyone know who makes the livewell valves or where I can buy repair kits? 690VS has three onboard, never used livewells. Gonna start fishing for some table fish now that I am retired and not just releasing Muskie!

Thank You so much, There is no name (FlowRite) on the valve. Now I can figure out exactly which ones I have. I was actually taking on water, winter cracked a 90deg fitting where hoses go to 50inch livewell. I have a TR1 Autopilot, 3 Bank and a host of other wireing for all my circuit breakers all in the way of getting to the place in the stern where the hose is. I have two complete fill/drain's for the 50" well, might just abandon the cracked one. CB's relocated because extened deck and orig cover prevent access. I have tripped these cutting weeds and ended up blown into some real big messes! RANGER COULD USE SOME FEEDBACK FROM ME! I love my 690, but the plumbing is terrible. I hope I can just replace the "flappers" inside the valves. My old Ranger had similar valves, and when I contacted Ranger for a source of parts they sent me new ones, postage paid!!! Great PR, Excellant Service!

That's all it was on my 690vs was the flappers, and one o-ring in the housing itself. I make the big livewell into dry storage, and once musky season starts and we're done walleye fishing the smaller on becomes dry storage as well. I can get at mine fairly easily through the floor plate that removes with 4 screes.
