avets = good
Kayatank - OEX does them. They will do it right, or make it right. ![]() |

Avets = Good on a boat, Bad on a Yak
I have a few avets. They last 2-3 trips on the yak b4 they are too gummed up to use on the yak. Great reels for boat trips, but too finniky for my taste if you are really using them on the yak. I know there are a few tutorials on how to self-service them, but I havent had the best of luck with them. Haven't seen a bill for less than $100 when I send hem in to Avet for service. I'm sure other have a different experience. For the Kayatank, go see Andy @ OEX, or any other OEX shop. I'm sure they will hook you up. Let the pro's do the install, so there is no doubt on the H2O. |

I have avets and they are outstanding! As far as the Kayatank - take everyones advice on this thread and have the pro's at OEX install. I tried the install process myself on a previous yak, and I had nothing but leakage and timer switch issues/problems. Finally, OEX SD fixed the FUBAR. Without OEX's assistance, I would have Sheeet canned my yak all together.
BEAT NAVY - Maybe next year! |

Sorry guys, Kayatanks are no longer in production. The cost of the insurance alone for that system outweighed total sales last year! Not to mention the time/labor/materials, we end up losing money. The only internal bait tank on the market now is the one built into the Malibu Stealth 12 and 14. We've come up with this system to fill the void, but it is not an internal tank.
Fishfoo, I don't know who you are or what the problem was, but it smells fishier than my kayatank. Welcome to the site. ![]()

I like the Avet JX Magic Cast on my jig sticks.
As long as you don't dunk them in the surf they are great, this means removing the reel before a surf landing (just incase) It only takes a few minutes, but will save you a lot of grief. |

Larry, I use a 5 gallon bucket with a Gamma Lid, and i put the intake through the scupper hole. It prime son its own easily I just have to turn the pump on. It cuts down on a ton of drag that an over the edge pump would have.
I put the inflow at the bottom of the bucket so that the water rises from the bottom. It also creates a wirlpool effect inside the bucket. When i turn the pump of becuase the intake is on the bottom, it drains the tank slowly back out of the pump. the gamma lid has a rop teather to the bucket, and i have 2 eye pads on eitherside to attach clips for fastening the bucket down. I run my tank on a 6 and 12 volt batteries, i never have bait die. It cost me total 60 bucks includign the pump to make. |
