Dano1 Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Any suggestions for rigging up an old esky as a flow through bait tank? Hey mate, I rigged up one of those 80l drums as a live bait tank! works a treat!!! Ive got 15mm hose as the inlet and 20mm outlet (overflow) U can but a kit that gives u a pump and pick up mounting bracket you just need to adapt it to the hose i used a brass fitting then a hose connector so i can plug it on and of easy!( you might want to invest in a stainless steel mount as the plastic ones do snap off! As far as the esky goes just drill through and bolt the inlet droper in and cut in your overflow! Dan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flea Posted April 24, 2007 Author Share Posted April 24, 2007 (edited) Cheers Dan I'll give it a crack - I need to keep my squid alive for longer than 10mins. Does the pump sit inside the boat or is it like a bilge and therefore needs to be fixed to the hull (outside)? Also where would I look for one of those kits?
