Hobie Live Well Question - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

stevie951 · 04-19-2016, 09:18 AM

Has anyone ever rigged the regular Hobie Live well to another brand Kayak? As with the X-13, the best option for Live-Well imho is on top of the stern, and I am not too big on the idea of an over the side pump creating drag, or a homemade Vittle Vault with my luck that will short out first run. While I still of course have to measure the dimensions, I am curious to hear if anyone has accomplished this..

I more than likely will end up with the KFS Bait Tank as it is what's recommended, but for $100 more, I was wondering if the Hobie Livewell can be rigged to go down the scuppers of other kayaks, and if losing that little bit of drag is even worth the extra $100?
