Bait Tank

[MrM]

As promised..


Make sure you goop up every single hole you make! If I was to do this again, I would remember to drill through the rubber insert and thread all of the wiring first. I forgot to do it for the wires running to the pump, and had already soldered/heat shrunk everything through the plastic (minus the rubber), and didn't want to re-do all that work again.

Just remember, the switch lays on the hot line. The negative runs straight to the battery. Measure twice, cut once. And solder away!


Edit- Darth, if you wanted to run a fuse, put it between the switch and battery on the hot line. That way it will save everything if you have a short. I don't think you'll need one, but I'll let you make that call.

Awesome! Thank you very much for taking the time to snap those pics! I really do appreciate it.

The pics help clear up my questions. I think I will skip the fuse as well. As long as the powers of Goop are on my side I think I will be solid. Now I just have to make the trip to OEX to grab all the misc pieces.

Anytime! Anything to help a fellow yak'er. If you're ever a little more north, send me a PM. And if I'm ever down south, I'll let you know (if you'd be up for it, of course!)
