Flow Rite 3300 Control Cables
Flow Rite 3300 Control Cables: Precision-Built for Marine Fluid Control
When it comes to managing livewells, baitwells, remote drain plugs, and ballast systems aboard your boat, the control cable connecting your actuator to your valve is a small component that carries enormous responsibility. Flow Rite — formally known as Flow-Rite Controls, Ltd. — has spent decades engineering marine fluid control solutions trusted by tournament anglers and top OEM boat builders alike, and their 3300 Control Cables reflect that same commitment to reliability and precision.
What Makes Flow Rite's Marine Control Cable Stand Out
Flow Rite's Marine Control Cable is a durable and high-quality control cable designed for use in marine applications such as drain plug and livewell/baitwell operation. Unlike generic push-pull cables that may corrode or bind under the stress of continuous salt or fresh water exposure, the cable is constructed using high-strength stainless steel and features a rugged, weather-resistant exterior jacket for added protection against harsh marine environments. The stainless steel control wire is suitable for both fresh and salt water use.
A key feature that sets Flow Rite apart is the attention to detail in the hardware included with each cable. Each cable includes the brass attachment nut and quick disconnect locking retainer for attachment to the actuator. This means boaters and rigging professionals get a complete, ready-to-install solution rather than having to source separate hardware — a practical advantage whether you're doing a first-time build or a straightforward replacement.
Length Options and Fitment
Proper cable length is critical to smooth, reliable operation — too much slack can cause binding or imprecise control, while a cable that's too short puts undue stress on fittings. Flow Rite control cables are available in lengths from 6′ to 17′, giving boaters the flexibility to spec the right run for their particular hull layout. Whether you're routing a cable in a compact bass boat or a larger tournament-rigged vessel, there's a length designed to match your installation without excess.

The control cable is an integral part of Flow Rite's broader livewell and actuator ecosystem.
