Embodiments of the invention provide a fill valve for use in a livewell of a boat. The fill valve includes an intake and a valve housing coupled to the intake. The valve housing includes a rounded half-sphere shaped front wall coupled to a substantially flat back wall. The front wall includes one or more inlet openings in fluid communication with the intake. The fill valve also includes a valve switch positioned in the valve housing to switch between a first position allowing fluid communication between the inlet openings and the intake and a second position providing a substantially liquid-tight seal between the inlet openings and the intake.

1. A fill valve for use in a livewell having a wall, the fill valve comprising: an intake;a valve housing coupled to the intake, the valve housing including a front wall that is a rounded half-sphere, the front wall being coupled to a back wall that is substantially flat, the front wall including at least one inlet opening in fluid communication with the intake and a threaded cavity including an edge portion; anda threaded valve switch including an extension and accessible through the front wall and a conical end portion protruding into the intake and inwardly moveable against a flow out of the intake and outwardly moveable with a flow out of the intake,the valve switch rotatably positioned in the cavity and moveable into and out of the intake to switch between a first position allowing fluid communication between the at least one inlet opening and the intake and a second position,the first position comprising the extension of the valve switch being positioned outside of the intake and contacting the edge portion of the cavity forming a fully open position enabling fluid communication between the intake and the at least one inlet opening, andthe second position comprising the extension being positioned inside the intake and contacting a valve seat of the intake forming a substantially liquid-tight seal between the at least one inlet opening and the intake and substantially disabling fluid communication between the intake and the at least one inlet opening. 2. The fill valve of claim 1 and further comprising a mounting nut for securing the valve housing against the wall of the livewell. 3. The fill valve of claim 2 wherein the intake includes a threaded portion and the mounting nut is rotatable about the threaded portion. 4. The fill valve of claim 1 and further comprising an adapter coupled to the intake via at least one of a press-fit and an adapter nut. 5. The fill valve of claim 4, wherein the adapter includes an approximately 90-degree bend. 6. The fill valve of claim 1 and further comprising an o-ring seal positioned adjacent to the back wall. 7. The fill valve of claim 1 wherein the back wall and the front wall are coupled together by screws. 8. The fill valve of claim 1 wherein the back wall and the intake are integrally coupled. 9. The fill valve of claim 1 wherein the intake includes a complementary angled valve seat to receive the conical end portion. 10. The fill valve of claim 1, wherein the valve switch is accessible from inside the livewell. 11. A fill valve for use in a livewell having a wall, the fill valve comprising: a valve housing having a rounded half-sphere shape, the valve housing including a front wall and being configured and arranged to be coupled against the wall of the livewell and a threaded cavity comprising an edge portion, the cavity configured and arranged to house a rotatable valve switch through the front wall;an intake coupled to the valve housing and configured and arranged to be positioned through the wall of the livewell, the intake including a threaded portion;a valve switch rotatable positioned in the cavity and moveable into and out of the intake, the valve switch being threaded and including a conical end portion and an extension,the conical end portion protruding into the intake and inwardly moveable against a flow out of the intake and outwardly moveable with a flow out of the intake;a mounting nut rotatable around the threaded portion to secure the valve housing against the wall of the livewell; andwherein the valve housing includes at least one inlet opening,the at least one inlet opening in fluid communication with the intake at least when the valve switch includes a fully open position comprising a coupling of the extension with the edge portion. 12. The fill valve of claim 11, wherein the rotatable valve switch is accessible through the front wall and rotatably positioned in the cavity to move into and out of the intake to switch between a first position allowing fluid communication between the at least one inlet opening and the intake and a second position, the first position comprising the extension of the valve switch being positioned outside of the intake and contacting the edge portion of the cavity forming a fully open position enabling fluid communication between the intake and the at least one inlet opening, andthe second position comprising the extension being positioned inside the intake and contacting a valve seat of the intake forming a substantially liquid-tight seal between the at least one inlet opening and the intake and substantially disabling fluid communication between the intake and the at least one inlet opening. 13. The fill valve of claim 12 wherein the valve switch includes an o-ring pressed against a valve seat of the intake when the valve switch is positioned to provide a substantially liquid-tight seal between the at least one inlet opening and the intake. 14. The fill valve of claim 11 and further comprising an adapter removably coupled to the intake outside of the livewell. 15. A fill valve for a livewell having a wall and positioned on a boat, the boat having a pump, the fill valve comprising: an intake positionable through a wall of the livewell;an adapter removably couplable to the intake, the adapter orientable with respect to the intake; anda generally half-sphere shaped valve housing sphere, the valve housing being positioned against the wall of the livewell and coupled to the intake, the valve housing includinga front wall with at least one inlet opening to permit fluid pumped by a pump to enter the livewell through the intake,the front wall including a threaded cavity comprising an edge portion, anda threaded valve switch accessible through the front wall to substantially prevent fluid pumped by the pump from entering the livewell through the intake,the valve switch including an extension and a concial end portion positioned within the intake and inwardly moveable against a flow out of the intake and outwardly moveable with a flow out of the intake;the valve switch positioned in the intake to switch between a first position and a second position,the first position comprising the extension of the valve switch being positioned outside of the intake and contacting the edge portion of the cavity forming a fully open position enabling fluid communication between the intake and the at least one inlet opening, andthe second position comprising the extension being positioned inside the intake and contacting a valve seat of the intake forming a substantially liquid-tight seal between the at least one inlet opening and the intake and substantially disabling fluid communication between the intake and the at least one inlet opening. 16. The fill valve of claim 15 wherein the adapter includes an approximately 90-degree bend. 17. The fill valve of claim 15 wherein the front wall is generally rounded and the valve housing includes a substantially flat back wall.
