Cable ApproachSome valves have two cable approach options. The cable can approach the valve from either the front/livewell side or the rear/transom side of the boat.VALVE AND ACTUATOR INFORMATIONFront Approach Rear ApproachInstalling the Cable ActuatorInsert cable wire through hole in brass arm as shown. Then, position cable assembly into brass bracket U-slot and secure finger tight with knurled nut. Carefully push assembly into 1-3/4%u02dd mounting hole and secure with two P/N MD-093 screws (#6-32, truss head, black oxide, stainless steel).Attaching the Cable to the ValveInsert the cable %u201cZ%u201d bend from the valve cap side and position the clamp directly behind the enlarged section of cable jacket as shown.Mounting a Pump to the ValveThe valve body is threaded for mounting the inlet of a centrifugal pump. Use a hacksaw to remove all but about 1-1/4%u02dd to 1-1/2%u02dd of threads on the pump inlet. Apply Teflon tape and mount directly to the valve. A 700 to 800 GPH pump is recommended for the best performance.P.E.F. (Pressure Equalization Flapper)Only specify PEF for higher profile walleye and bay boats where the livewell overflow is 8%u02dd%u201312%u02dd above lake level. If it is more than 12%u02dd, use the V4 valve. PEF is not generally required for low profile bass boats. While off plane and in the AUTO position, water enters the valve from both the livewell drain and the transom thru-hull. As the water level in the livewell increases, so does the pressure on the transom check feature of the valve, reducing the ratio of fresh to recirculated water. When this pressure is too great, PEF insures that enough fresh water is added to force the upper used water out.22 Valves, Actuators, and Cables %u2022To order product visit www.flow-rite.com or call 616-583-1700
