Really nice job on your bait tank. Just an idea on your drain system, I think you probably could have just got by with the lower drain only and just kept a few different lengths of pipe to adjust your water level. (Instead of putting a cap on it just slip a longer piece of pipe on it to adjust your water level)
You do great work in your projects , luv it. I want to add your vid links to mine so the next angler can add to their projects. Thumbs up for sharing .
MO, could you get the part number the next time you go to the store and post it. I have found check valves but none of them match up to the set up you have. thanks for all the help!!
Man.! I'm very impressed. I love simplicity. And well thought out work. A+ Now let's see how your plan works on my Hobie Pro Angler 14 .. Thanx for the vid.
Awsome vid, yours looks way cleaner than what i have. You might want to screen the drain. I found lots of times small fish or debri can clog the outtake, causein? The tank to over fill ect. Im fishing saltwater witch i have to consider corrosion on all metals period. Early-on i used a peice of galvanised strapping on the inside of my yak supporting somthing i mounted and 3 weeks of being exposed to salty steam(even) from inside the yak melted the metal!
im doing it just like yours the only thing im gonna add is a led light up top for night fishing so i can see what im grabbing thank you very much for the video God bless
I am having the same troubles you guys are having. I cannot get my pump to prime itself. I have done a search for the Bundy check valve and have found nothing, but I did find a brand by the name of Brady that is blue which might be the one Mo is talking about? I have not ordered one yet. This is a great idea, but I am becoming frustrated, lol.
Hey, thanks for your posts. They are very informative. I know you said the Johnson pump can be gotten any where. Did you mean at a plumbing supply house or a sports store/ bait and tackle shop?
re the plumbing fittings, did you just drill a matching hole in the tank? or did you tap it to thread the fittings? I know you marine gooped everything, so maybe it doesn't matter. But, just wondering cuz some of your fittings looked like they may be NPT or threaded? Are they all smooth PVC fittings? Thanks.. great video!
I need help locating the check valve that you used please. I read you said it was by Bundy. Hardware or nor going through 3 large marine catalogs could we locate it. Thank You Ron C.
I'm thinking about trying this. What size bait have you held in there? Do you think it's big enough to keep a few bunker alive? I'll be using big baits like bunker and porgies
2:06 I thought it was a power wheels charger plug. People throw those little battery powered cars out all the time or you could buy a dead one for a couple bucks, think of ways to use the little motor...(Outrigger raiser, Powered up hill kayak cart, Raise or lower an anchor...etc.)

That's pretty creative.

I just drilled a matching hole for the pipes to go through. All smooth PVC fittings. Lots of goop!
Great job , great video!.

Thanks Rudy!
I got the basic idea from you. Thanks Bud!!!!
Awesome job; what type of battery are you using? how long will it run your pump, lastly is it also running a depth recorder?

Watch my PA 14 vids and you will get some more ideas when you see that bait tank. Thanks for watching!

My experience is that fish dont linke corners and portruding features like screw heads..do you any issues so far?
Very nice, but you never did pull the tank to show us those scupper holes.

My bad guys! Ozarkshunter is correct. The brand name is Brady for the check valve.
what materials did you use to to install your bilge pump to your bait tank?
I found the check valve but the threads don't match up to the Johnson pump. How did you overcome this problem?
where did you find the 3/4 check valve on the pump?
What check valve is that? I’ve been trying to find one like it for low pressure.
Can you provide primer bulb information? I can’t find a primer bulb that will go with 3/4 fittings
The check valve I have threaded right on. The only thing I can think of is your valve has slightly different threads.
What check valve did you use? Name and model please.
I got it at a local hardware store here in Rolla. I'll get a brand name next time I go in there and post it.
Do you have a parts list? Please
How did you connect the pump to the outside of the tank?
Where did you get the rod holder strap Thing inside the hull of hour yak?
Your not hour. Junk phone
I cannot locate the Bundy valve online. could you post the hardware stores number and I can call them. Thanks.
The check valve brand is Bundy.
