  1. Here's mine I use in my tinny. Simple set-up, battery operated aerators. The Jarvis walker white ones are the best battery op around. Get em at &&*&*&, big W etc for about $15. Sometimes are a different brand but just rebadged. You can run only one if you like and keep an eye on the battery. Esky is a 25L willow from &&*&*& for $29. This one has an unhinged lid so I just riveted a couple of SS hinges on, gal would be fine. Put a couple of lid straps on made out of 4mm irrigation tube I dad laying around and a couple of wide foam rubber strips under the lid to support the pumps.Or you could use webbing or something else. Best part is that it is almost dead quiet in the boat. I fill it with live herring and with 2 aerators running they'll stay alive for 6-8 hours without a water change but i'll usually change the water every 3-4 hrs anyway. Just half fill a bucket, scoop them all in, tip the esky out, poor the bucket into the esky and then top up the esky using the bucket. Hell of a lot easier and cheaper than running 12v pumps to pump in/out. Whole unit is self contained so you can use it on the jetty or whatever then put it straight in the boat ready to go full of livies.
