Looks nice Brad but the overflow is way too small.

Also does the inlet pipe go to the bottom of the tank.

i have 2 outlets in the tank and the inlet can either come from the top or i have a bit of pipe that i can add on to send it to the bottom

i just dont like the idea of drilling hole in the boat to bolt it down but i guess there is no other way other then weld it on?

Perhaps a bracket over to the rail combined with some sikaflex. I agree I would be careful bolting it on.

If you don’t want to bolt the boat. What about utilising the bolts already installed?

The tie down point, the rail and the bolts on the transom. If you remove a transom bolt and replace with an stainless steel eye bolt on it. That will give you 3 points to strap to and then add brackets to the side of live bait tank to connect to.

No extra holes in the boat just some extra in the tank which can be sealed. Worst case they leak it would be outside the boat not in it.

That’s not going anywhere.

What sort of pump do you have? Does it have one of the pickups that push water through as you go along?
