tying in bait tank and ff

[jimmy310]

im using a 12 volt battery running my fishfinder and bait tank. im using a remote control to turn off my bait tank on an off. also the remote control has 100%,50% and 25% for how much water you want your baittank to produce.

if you use 6v with a 500gph rule pump you will not need a timer.

Will be sufficient for most users . 4-6 hrs operation .10 amp will last 6-8 hrs . I found a 12 amp 6 vlt. Battery that can last me a long summer day without fear if my bait Keeling over .

Will running a 500gph pump on a 12 volt take a beating To my bait? I have a 12v batter that I think have like 50-60 amp hours I run it to my FF and my bait tank. I haven't used the tank with bait in it yet. Is there something I can put in between the battery and the pump that will run the pump slower?

I use a 360 GPH WITH A 6v 12a for the bait tank, and I keep bait alive allllllll day and then some. For my FF I use a 12v 12a battery and I've been on the water 12+ hours with no problems at all. When I first started off I had both to a 12v with a 500GPH pump. My bait got beat up and my battery life was only around 5-6 hours. I would recommend going with 2 separate batteries on 2 different systems. As stated above if it shorts your bait and FF are done, along with your day. I don't use a timer or anything like that. I try to keep the wiring on a kayak as simple as possible and try to keep switches and anything extra out of the mix. I believe in the KISS method. Keep It Simple Stupid. I also re wire everything every season. Keeping a simple system makes this easier. I'm out on the water a lot and salt water is a true enemy of anything electronic.
