Valve Position Functions
The RK3-BW System 3 Actuator features three positions:
- RECIRC: The pump receives water from the livewell only. Outside water is blocked.
- EMPTY: Water is allowed to exit the livewell drain, but is not allowed to enter.
- AUTO: When off plane, the pump will recirculate and aerate the livewell water while blending in fresh water. When on plane, the valve automatically switches to recirculation only.

Installation Guide
- Ensure the boat's power is completely disconnected before starting.
- Locate and access the existing valve actuator in your livewell system.
- Carefully detach the control cable from the old actuator.
- Unscrew and remove the old actuator from its mounting position.
- Position the new RK3-BW Actuator onto the valve body.
- Secure the new actuator using two MD-093 screws (not included).
- Re-attach the control cable (sold separately) to the new actuator arm.
- Restore power and test all three positions (Recirculate, Empty, Auto) to ensure proper function.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
Q: How do I know if this actuator will fit my boat?
A: This actuator is a direct replacement for Skeeter/Ranger part number 5900006 and Suzuki part 09352-50006-600. It fits Flow-Rite V3 series valves used in many Ranger, Skeeter, and other bass boats. We recommend verifying your existing part number and valve system to ensure compatibility.
Q: What do the different switch positions (RECIRC, EMPTY, AUTO) actually do?
A: RECIRC closes the system to outside water and circulates only the water already in the livewell. EMPTY opens the drain to let water out. AUTO is a dual-function mode that brings in fresh water while the boat is idle or at low speed, then automatically switches to RECIRC when the boat gets on plane to prevent water from draining out.
Q: What other parts will I need to buy for a full installation?
A: This package includes the actuator only. For a complete installation, you will need to source two MD-093 mounting screws and the appropriate control cable, as these are not included.
