What’s in the Box

  • 1 x Valve Switch Actuator (RK3-BW)

Note: Does not include mounting screws (MD-093), control cable, or other components.

Installation Notes

  1. Ensure the boat's power is disconnected before beginning work.
  2. Access the existing valve actuator, typically located near the livewell plumbing.
  3. Carefully detach the control cable from the old actuator arm.
  4. Unscrew and remove the old actuator from its mounting position.
  5. Align the new RK3-BW actuator and secure it using two MD-093 screws (not included).
  6. Reconnect the control cable and verify that the actuator moves the valve smoothly through all three positions (RECIRC/EMPTY/AUTO).

Troubleshooting & FAQ

What are the functions of RECIRC, EMPTY, and AUTO?

RECIRC: Recirculates water already inside the livewell, blocking outside water. EMPTY: Allows water to drain from the livewell. AUTO: Blends fresh water with recirculated water when the boat is off-plane and automatically switches to RECIRC mode when on-plane to prevent water loss.

Is this a direct replacement for part number 5900006?

Yes, this actuator is designed as a direct aftermarket replacement for OEM part number 5900006 used in compatible Skeeter and Ranger livewell systems.

Does this actuator include mounting screws or the control cable?

No, the package contains only the valve switch actuator. Mounting screws (part number MD-093) and the control cable must be purchased separately or reused from your existing setup.

How do I know if my current actuator has failed?

Signs of failure include the control handle being difficult to move, the valve not switching between positions correctly, or visible cracks/damage on the actuator housing.
