hobie tank repairs
yesterday i had two serious fails . first i filled the tank with macs , and while they were slashing around to the brims capacity, broke my connection where i had by passed my failed switch. i notice the the macs were getting sleepy eyed and quiet. . so i release them , did a temporary fix , and back in business. at end of day when i went to unplug battery , pulled wire out of socket. is it time to rewire the tank? tank is more than a couple years old. any input would be appreciated. having the bait tank is great , but it always seems like something is always going wrong .first switch , thens its batteries , then clogs with pump. now wiring issues . . as far as clogs with intake and sea grass, i did discover something pretty good. i bought a screen from home depot that has rubber on edges , i believe used for sink replacement . i trimmed the rubber a little , and placed behind black nipple of intake tube. it does make it more restrictive , but not enough to hinder flow. keeps grass out. one problem solved, for now. thanks again for any suggestions or help with wire issues. when i trimmed back wire to reconnect , i noticed it looks corroded under insulation and some what brittle. is that normal?
