New Shimano Bristol Bay Bait Tanks

OEX and Anglers Yak Shack is now carrying the Shimano Bristol Bay livewell systems. We have put together our own plumbing and electrical kit for this bait tank that includes a higher quality waterproof toggle switch and added a waterproof fuse holder that is not in the Shimano kit, all for the same price.
Also, for those who desire, a timer switch can easily be added by simply plugging it into the wiring harness. All components are the same Marine Grade that you will find on our KayaTank systems.

The price of our electrical kit is 99.95 (same price as shimano's) or 89.95 with purchase of the livewell from AYS or OEX. The timer switch can be added for only 35.00, saving you 14.95.
Below you can see the quality difference in the Rule switch that Shimano includes and the Heavy duty, PVC Dipped, Waterproof Toggle Switch that is in our kit. Face Plate and Rubber boot are included. This switch retails for 29.95.


The Wiring Harness also includes our Waterproof fuse holder pictured here:

The tank is working well for me. I just need new batteries and maybe a timer.

I put one of the timer switches on mine and I am 50/50 on how I feel about it. I get better battery life and can carry a much smaller battery. The down side is that I can't seem to carry as much bait and have it live.
So for most people that don't need to stuff their bait tank like me, I would say go for it. IF you do really like to carry a lot of bait you might think twice. Now if they will make a switch that is say 1-1 meaning on 50% of the time off 50% I think it would work better. Right now I think it is on for 7 off for 14.
Just for reference I used to put two dozen some times more bait in my tank and not one would die. That is not the case with the timer switch.

I don't know the timer switch you are referring to, but the one I had broke. It wasn't waterproof. All it took was one spill and the $35 timer no longer works. Ouch!

What annoys me about the timer is when it starts up after being quiet for a while. I jump in my seat every time. It gets annoying really quick.

I do like the waterproofness of their new switches. I might have to go get one.
