I had someone PM me about the Tank, still waiting to hear back from them.

I have the smaller tank as well, I'll post a picture of that one also.

However you are first in line should the other sale fall off the table. Measure your Tankwell and I'll check to see if it would fit. I'm pretty sure we could make it work.

Large tank sold, but if you would like any of the 2 sized tanks let me know. I can build you one for 50% upfront and the remainder 50% upon delivery/pickup.

[Jimmyz123]

Still building. If interested let me know.

How did u get the box to stick to the tank? Just drill through and bolt it up? I might have to do this too

Hey jimmy about the tank I got mine set up like this. I had to pinch back the flow way down for the drain To keep up. Would this cause a problem with bait staying alive? Should I redo The drain to allow more flow? Thanks uploadfromtaptalk1416955320813.jpg

Without seeing the inside it looks like you may be running the risk of a dead bait plugging your drain, causing your tank to overfill. Putting the drain hose lower on the tank will give you a higher outflow rate. I would also drill overflow holes on the sides.

Plan on inflow rate being less than potential outflow rate. If you are draining from the bottom you will want them to be close to equal, keeping in mind that the increasing weight of water as the tank fills will increase the outflow proportianally. Putting a valve on your outflow will allow you to adjust it to get the right level in the tank and slow the outflow should your battery start to fade.

That said, I let mine drain out the sides (holes drilled) and out through the scuppers. Still working on the tank for my PA but will post pics when I am done. With teh amount of free time my two kids and wife allow that should be sometime in 2037

Thanks a lot I will for sure drill those drain holes most likely by the handles. I was trying to have all my water drain out the scupper holes Hobie style lol my outback always sags and water collects in the storage area making it heavier... Now that I think about it though it shouldn't be that much of a difference uploadfromtaptalk1416956576632.jpguploadfromtaptalk1416956585376.jpg

Like was mentioned, you don't want the bait to get into the drain tube, or plug it somehow. As long as you can keep your tank circulating well your baits will stay a live. I usually let the tank train into the tank well rather than add a drain tube. The problems I see with drain tubes is they get clogged, they snag on fishing line, and so I just use drain holes in the tanks.

Your bolts are sticking out into the tank.


That's no Bueno!


You should make it as flush to the inside of the tank as you can.

When I had this style tank, I put one of those thin folding cutting board inside to cover the bolt heads. This would also round out the corners so none of the fish would get trapped in the corners. Cheap and easy fix.

Yeah u guys are right I didn't consider smaller bait getting through the elbow or getting stuck in it. I may just do the drain through holes then or make a screen for the elbow.. The overflow holes will be higher as you can see from the pic so it might work out good thanks for the input....sorry it's my first tank

I usually put about 4 to 5 holes depending on the rod holder location. Some want the 6 rod holder setup and some want the 3. So it all depends on where the Rod holders go, but there is plenty of drainage and I've never had a tank over flow on me doing it this way.
