One Pump. Three Modes. Total Livewell Control.
The Flow-Rite V4 is a 3-position select valve engineered for anglers who want a clean, efficient livewell system without the clutter of extra pumps and plumbing. By mounting a single standard aerator pump directly to the valve body, the V4 handles both filling and recirculation — simplifying your setup and reducing points of failure on the water.
Designed with a front cable approach, this valve is ideal for walleye boats and high-profile fishing boats where clean routing and reliable drain control matter most.
How It Works
- FILL: Closes the drain side of the valve so your pump draws fresh water directly from outside the hull — fast, clean fills every time.
- RECIRC: Seals the drain and recirculates existing livewell water to maintain oxygen levels and keep your catch healthy.
- EMPTY: Opens for gravity draining with the pump off — no mess, no fuss.
- AUTO: Set it and forget it. Once in AUTO mode with the pump running, all livewell functions are managed automatically so you can stay focused on fishing.
Key Features
- Mounts one standard aerator pump for both fill and recirculation duties
- Eliminates the need for a second pump and extra plumbing runs
- Closed recirculation mode supports an optional pump-out system
- Front cable approach for flexible, low-profile installation
- Optional secondary pump can serve as a true backup to the main system
Best For
Walleye boats, bass boats, and any high-profile fishing vessel where livewell management and drain control are a priority. If you run a rear cable layout, see the Flow-Rite V4 Rear Cable version. For a simpler 2-position shutoff, check out the Flow-Rite V1 Shut-Off Valve. For fully automatic operation, explore the Flow-Rite V3 Automatic Valve.
Parts Desk Insights
This valve is the go-to choice when a customer wants to consolidate their livewell pump setup — one pump, one valve, full control. It's especially popular as a replacement or upgrade on walleye and multi-species boats. Pair it with a quality aerator pump for a complete system. If the customer's boat has a rear cable run, direct them to the V4 Rear Cable variant instead. Customers upgrading from a basic shutoff valve will immediately notice the improvement in water quality and fish health with the RECIRC and AUTO modes.
