Thank you! I'm nowhere near a pro... But I'll take the compliment!

As for the price, it was about the same as buying it complete from Andy, a little less. If you shop around, I'm sure you could get a better price on an item here or there, but then you have to shop around. I'm a one-stop-shop kind of guy. Plus, you can't beat the customer service.

Igloo drain plug

Since your inlet is on the top, you might want to add one of these near the bottom if you haven't done so already. I dump the 40# of bait tank water before landing.

As long as you still have juice in the battery at the end of the day, you can just throw the pump in the tank and disconnect the hose from the inlet to drain the tank. I think the technical term is reversebaitmosis.

I agree with this 100% drain the water before trying to land or it could cause you to roll on the way in.

I'll have to do that. The yak was noticeably more top heavy w/the tank. Thank you!

I like those rivets with the plastic spreaders. Did you get those at OEX?

Dan
Thank you! The rivets came in an extra parts bag when I bought the yak (it was used). But, I am 98.6% sure I saw the same exact rivets in a rigging kit that OEX sells. I would imagine they'd have the rivets by themselves, too. They aren't 100% water proof though, so if you use them make sure to use some Goop, too.

Thanks! It's a 1060. It fits the extra wiring, switch, and battery like a glove.
