True. It's good and bad. When the battery dies you still have a serviceable tank, but when you don't have any live bait with you, you still gotta haul around the extra weight. This only applies to the prowler I think. The only other problem is when bleeding a fish, make sure you don't get the blood in the prowler tank or it clogs up the pump when it coagulates.

It's a great system. I love mine.

I've got an X-Factor and my KayaTank will fill up at least 2/3 full even without the pump on. Hauling around that extra weight isn't as bad as it would be with an on-deck tank.

I don't think I'll ever go back to an on-deck bait tank. The Kayatank has worked well for me and I'm very satisfied. I know it takes a little convincing to drill holes in the bottom of your kayak, but it's worth it.

Hey guys if you KNOW you will not be using your tank for the day we do have plugs that you can use. The exhaust must be pluged from the outside so its not something you do and then decide to unplug while out unless you paddle back to shore.


There are a few tanks that will fill up partially without turning on, although none are like the prowler tanks.
