Beautiful job and lots of great ideas. I particularly like the goop method of joining wires.
As all of us with bait tanks which use a pump mounted below the waterline of the tank know, water will drain out when the pump is turned off. There are several ways to deal with this. You an install a back flow valve like the one that Greg mentioned but those can sometimes foul with kelp. An easier and more foolproof way to solve the problem is to put an "ell" fitting where the water enters your tank and attach a vertical piece of pipe that extends up to the desired waterline. If you use a threaded ell you can angle the water input pipe to allow it to drain. You can see how this is done on a Hobie tank by going to post #36 in the Innovations tread. Bob |

Does mirage drive interfere with the signal on the transducer?

Very impressive rigging. Where did you get the clips for bilge pump and what are they called?

One word comes to mind
"awesome". Fantastic work. Thanks for sharing your mods and getting me thinking about some new mods for my Hobie.

Hey Steveooo
I'm thinking of doing a bait tank build and stealing a couple of your ideas. I like the simplicity. I did not notice any on/off switch or timer on the pump. Does it have one, or did I overlook it? thanks The Rossman
