[QUOTE="ProduceMan, post: 455187, member: 18606"] Work on the boat has been a little here and there when I can. Today I tried out my homegrown live bait tank. I borrowed the idea from what the kayak guys have been building. It is a Vittle Vault pet food container that I got for $17 at the thrift store. Rated @ 16 gal, mine holds 14 gal due to the drain height. A Rule 500gph transom mount pump pvc plumbed over the transom to a hose with a ball valve. D-rings and velcro straps to secure it. The 3/4" inlet is on the corner down low to help flush scales and the outflow is an 1 1/2 thru hull out the side of the hull above the waterline. I have a screw on cap that fits on the thru hull when the tank is pulled out. The whole setup can be removed in less than 10 minutes. Also installed a kayak seat for passengers I got at a yard sale for $5. [/QUOTE]
