Rig Rite Livewell Switches & Panels: Smart Aerator Control on the Water

When it comes to keeping your catch or bait alive during a long day on the water, few things matter more than reliable livewell management. Rig Rite Manufacturing has built a focused reputation in this space, offering purpose-built livewell switches and panels that take the guesswork out of aerator control. Since 1992, Rig Rite has been a trusted name among fishing and boating enthusiasts, bringing practical, durable electrical accessories to the marine market.

Automatic and Variable Timer Technology

The heart of Rig Rite's livewell lineup is its aerator timer switch technology, available in both automatic fixed-cycle and fully variable configurations. The Rig Rite Model 500 Automatic Livewell Timer is a workhorse in this category: it automatically cycles the livewell pump on for 30 seconds every 3 minutes, maintaining oxygen-rich water circulation without any manual intervention. This fixed-cycle approach is ideal for anglers who want a "set it and forget it" solution that keeps fish lively throughout the day.

For those who prefer more control, the Rig Rite Model 510 Variable Livewell Timer steps up the flexibility. It maintains the same reliable 30-second "on" cycle for pumping but allows the "off" cycle to be adjusted anywhere from 0 to 5.5 minutes to suit specific conditions, species, and bait types. It also supports a continuous-run mode for quickly filling the livewell before use.

Battery-Friendly Design Built for Marine Environments

A standout feature across Rig Rite's livewell switch lineup is the emphasis on battery preservation. By cycling the aerator pump rather than running it continuously, these timers significantly reduce electrical draw, extending the useful range of your marine battery on long fishing trips. The Model 535 solid-state timer module takes this further, offering a compact, potted waterproof design with an impressive 10-amp current capacity, engineered to handle the harsh conditions of a boat's electrical environment.

Installation is deliberately straightforward across the entire Rig Rite livewell switch line. The standard 3-wire installation process is designed to serve as a direct, drop-in replacement for conventional on/off switches, fitting a 3/8-inch mounting hole in dash panels up to 1 inch thick. Whether you're upgrading an older boat or outfitting a new one, Rig Rite's switches integrate cleanly into existing wiring harnesses without requiring specialized tools or expertise.
