I have a live bait tank in my Signature 500RF and now want to plumb it. Does anybody have an installation/wiring diagram for such a job ? I could just get a portable 12v system but I would have the task of having to renew the water manually and that would take away some valuable fishing time so would prefer the automatic system. Sorry if this request sounds a bit simple but where else but here to get the best advice ! ;D;D

one of my live bait tanks is pictured in that second link and this 20L pale was my design after that other one in the link im now using another similar design but larger 65L plastic barrel i dangle my pump and over flow hose over the transom while anchored than while im moving i place the pump inside of my tank to circulate the water to aerate it

this is my current tank similar plumbing design
