Rule - Tournament Dual Port Livewell Pump 500 GPH Angled (arnoldsboatshop.com.au) What about this . Used with a 30 litre round bucket on transom. I wouldn,t mount bilge pump, but instead attach two hoses to the pump and throw one over the side to pick up water and one in the 30 litre bucket. As bucket is on transom I could drill a hole for an outlet in bucket and it could run over the side of transom? Reasoning is space is a premium and I only need to keep a few livies every once in a while as boat is used for family chill trips also.

Hey Bob does that setup keep yakkas alive? I am looking at keeping 20 odd yellowatail alive for around 6 hours. Thanks

Thanks guys. I am now leaning to a permanently plumbed bilge system but with a tank that I can easily remove when not in use. Probably around the 40 litre mark.

After suggestions for a portable livey tank for yakkas. I own a Quinny 4.55 and have no space to fit a plumbed system. I am looking to keep a dozen yakka alive for a few hours if possible. I have looked at the Seaflo rechargeable aerator which I could use in an esky or bucket or maybe a portable bilge pump system which I could connect to my battery for short periods of time. Transom space quite limited too so would probably have to put bucket or esky inside boat. Any advice appreciated. I do have experience running proper plumbed systems but space is a premium in this boat.

After a rod and reel combo for my son who wants to chase Pittwater and occasionally Broken Bay Kings. Budget 3 to 4 hundred. Mainly casting hard bodies in the 20 to 40 gm so a good spinning reel essential. Would be great to be able to use with small live baits also occasionally, but casting the main priority. I imagine at least 30 lb braid capacity also? Thanks
