Andy, does the Thru hull set up work on tanks like the ones posted? Or is that more for built in tanks like the Stealth? Is there any problems with removing the tank when installed thru hull?

The thru hull design will work on any tank as long as the tank allows a place for the fitting to stick out. The only thing you have to be sure of is the pump being completely below the water line so it doesn't have to be primed.The idea is that all you have is a male hose fitting sticking out of your tank. That way all you do is set your tank into the tankwell, slide the hose onto the fitting and go. All the wiring and what not would be set up identical to the kayatank system. so that your battery is in a dry bag (dry box, whatever) inside the hull and you have a switch mounted on your deck. You could go all the way with it and set it up with a kayatank wiring harness and have the timer switch and everything which makes it super easy.

Might have to head to Sunset to get some work done soon. Would be nice to get rid of the drag of the bilge over the side, Thanks
