Dave, it's a Squidco tank with a 6 volt battery, three rod holders on each side and I put auxiliary drain pipes just below the overflow holes, I didn't like it draining into the boat so now it drains overboard. I put it in the back seat position and bungee it down, I also put a drain pipe in the bottom of the tank that I can open and drain the tank so I don't have to remove it to dump it.

Your adjustments seem pretty well thought out. I agree that you wouldn't want to overflow into the back seat!

I originally had the tank in my Ascend kayak and letting the water drain into the back of the kayak was not a good them. the scuppers wouldn't drain fast enough to keep up and the water would start building up in the back of the yak making it real heavy. This way most of the water goes overboard and I don't have that extra weight to paddle around. It works good on the P2T also. I was amazed at how well the sardines stayed alive the other day. I think I must have started out with at least 50 in there and only a few were dead at the end of the day. I bought this tank from a BWE member who had it advertised on the sale portion of the page.
