How To Install A Live Bait Tank

This one is the current set I have and not a patch on the onetime one.  It is neater and was the one fitted by stacer with the spray nozzle that I wasn't happy with.  Information technology functions much improve at present only really non big enough.

The tank you have in the link is a much better starting point than mine I retrieve.

I had problem with the outlet blocking and every bit you can see I now have a bend on information technology with multiple holes that does part much amend.

I removed the spray nozzle and drilled it out as much as possible to get more catamenia. The nozzle at present merely controls the flow rate. I installed  an electrical junction box to put the inlet h2o back towards the bottom.  It'due south still relatively irksome to articulate when a squid inks in it but much better than it was.

This boat has the through hull pump, I added a fitting to collect the h2o whilst underway and also a filter on the fitting end.   The stern mounted pumps similar you have role ameliorate than the through hull one they merely aren't as neat.

The sometime boat with pump on the stern only ever had one pump this boat is on information technology's along.   The offset one died and was replaced nether warranty, the replacement had a mistake and sprayed water all under the flooring of the boat.  That was also replaced under warranty and died as well.  They were all Johnson pumps I replaced it with a Dominion pump  with no  problem since.

With the hoses inside the boat and with a water pickup fitting there would be no style to stop water coming into the gunkhole if s hise splits. So I have used pressure level hose, clamps and acquit a stopper fitting that tin can be attached if necessary.

These are  just my thoughts I am certain there are many ways of making it work and some of mine won't apply to your state of affairs.
