Here's a fun project that will give your boat a whole additional range of options!

Don't just sit there reading! Grab your cordless and get drilling!

Thanks for the installation tutorial! Those tanks sure look nice.

How did you rig the bait pump? Did you "T" into an existing thru hull?

I recently purchased a Kodiak Pro Flow 32. I'm debating on putting it on the transom or in the center of the cockpit like yours. For me I think it would be easier to craft a mount for the bait pump and put it off the transom and put the tank on the transom. Unless I could simply "T" into my existing thru hull. If I could "T" the bait pump off of my wash down thru hull that would be ideal. Then put the bait tank in the cockpit, which would be preferred. Any thoughts are appreciated!

You guessed it!

I tee'd right into my existing washdown pickup and it works great.
Just make sure that your boat will intake water at planing speed. Sometimes you have to add a small scoop to keep the flow goin! cheers
