bait tanks

[scwafish]

Note to Larry: Piranhas tank is an inexpensive way to go and it will work very well for yak'ing. But DAMN Piranha that is one UGLY looking bucket you got there.

Agreed. I see this bucket, and worse yet the "quietman" tank all over the web, but I have seen much nicer versions in person. I will post some pics of mine this evening, nothing special, but at least some craftsmanship was utilized.

As to 10 AAs, they should run any ff all day. I run a Matrix 67 ff/chartplotter/gps on mine for a solid 10 hours, a regular ff much longer. Be aware that the first 2 or 3 charging cycles will be much shorter than the fully developed battery. The first outing with my 2500s only lasted about 3-4 hours.
