you bet James, I plan on adding a drain on the bottom so when I'm coming in I can get rid of the excess weight but other than that it looks great. I hope to try it out next week.

James, why did you use a 6 volt battery? The pump is a twelve volt unit so at 6 volts it runs very slow. I'm plumbing a drain into the bottom of the tank so when I'm landing I don't have to have the extra weight in the back of my yak.

Running a 12v pump on a 6v battery slows the flow. More fragile bait like chovies can get beat up with too much flow

X2

I run a 6v 12amp with my setup and its perfect for keeping the bait alive all day. I can go 10 hrs without a problem and have held a dozen or more spanish/greenies alive.
