Question about hobie bait tank. - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Larger baits need more air supply . Have you hooked up a meter to check voltage on battery ? If it is new or in great shape it should be around 6.5 vlts. 6.3 vlts is in good shape and so on . I would think anything under 6 vlts? Would be going out or bad .I picked up a meter from harbor freight for dirt cheap. A good battery should power you for more than 6 hours . The flow will slow down , but still be more than adequate for a handful of macs . Two batteries should easily carry you through the day . Even a 10 and 7 combined . Two 7's might do it . It might be time for you to invest . Check frys , they might have something reasonable . I purchased some 7 Amp models way back . I would try to stick with tens though.
