Bait tank problems

[TJones]

Hobie sells a replacement bait tank plug. It’s expensive, but maintenance free. Pretty much bulletproof. I’ve been using them for years for my fish finder connection without a hiccup. It even comes with some water resistant connectors similar to ones pictured. There is a little splash guard on back of connector and it it packed with dielectric grease. This will provide years of trouble free operation if correctly installed. Those connectors can be purchased separately at your local hardware store. If you purchase the replacement cartridge, you can actually run a new wire straight to your connector eliminating all splices. Carefully remove the pins from back of plug and reattach them straight to your new pump. Eliminating your switch and any connection inside the tank will make the tank bulletproof.
