puregeek Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Hi all, Just wanted to know where everyone else had there burley bucket. I have a pod on the rear transom which reduces space and i wouldnt have a clue where to fit it. Ive been looking all over the internet to see if i could find examples of ones fitted to this type of transom, but everyone i see doesn't have a bucket fitted. I have included some pics. Has anyone who has a pod similar to this fitted a burley bucket on it without any issues? Im thinking of fitting it to the right hand side, but most buckets are around the 400mm mark which make them too long (im guessing i have to clear the bottom of the hull so i dont get a rooster tail).

squidboy Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 I use a bit of rope to a burley bucket and hang it over the side. When I am done, I just pull it up, put it in a bucket and I am done. Beauty is, I can clean it, leave it home or pull it out when the cootas turn up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helliconia Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 you could mount the bracket on a bracket, or have one made up so its removable. Design it so that you can slot it in place and lift to remove. I'm picturing a simple holder against the hull under your ladder, with a backbone that attaches to the bracket and slides in to the hull fitting.

Tried this method, but you can't to smash up the pillies. Its just easier with a bucket and a stick. Plus you dont need to remember to pull the bucket back in, done that a few times aswell.

Boog's Boat Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Hi Puregeek, Quintrex and Stacer both make berley buckets to fit maxi brackets like yours. Here is the link http://www.stacer.com.au/accessories/Burley_Bucket Nath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 (edited) Puregeek You have a bit of a space problem with the ladder on on side & accessories on the other but perhaps this may be of assistance. It pivots on a pin so when traveling it swings up & the bottom skims across the water Geoff Edited October 24, 2011 by Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would this be the bucket im looking for? http://www.santmarine.com.au/store/product_info.php?cPath=26&products_id=109&osCsid=a00298dded5aaa3c55bc5052b66697b6 Seems to protrude out a little to allow for the pivot. Also, thats a nice bait board. Does it have the live bait tank built in?? How do you find it? Yee Edited October 24, 2011 by puregeek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bucket in the photo looks like the unit but check with Andrew , I think he purchased it from Whitworths. The bait board is a brand called Baitmate. This particular unit includes a live bait tank & a drawer When installed , we included a deck wash outlet Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Hooker Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 This is my setup. I acutally had to make a whole new burley bucket due to my bro in law forgettin to put the pin from the bracket! Some pvc tube and aluminium does wonders I actually can slide my bucket fully out of the water or too a preset deep where i put some SS screws in it also holds the bucket in the bracket without sliding down and find a new home on the bottom of the sea bed. again!
