Gonna build both for my wee Fryan 450 would appreaciate any hints/tips things to avoid and pictures of baitboard/rod holder/towpoint designs you have on your or your mates boat that just work.
Underfloor to get some weight forard and lower while gaining some useful space under transom where totes are now.
Bait board gonna be 800 wide have at least 4 rod holders on it and have a tow point for dredge/biscuit etc.
Firstly Make a prototype I'll test it out for you ;)
Id rather get it right the first time and have you tell me how good it is.Quote:

Its removable now and it sucks balls, will be welded down solid...if I cant lift my rod over it I will give up fishing and go to church instead.Quote:

440 ml cup holders , and knife holder
Giz a photo of where you want it
This is what Iv got at the mo.
I should be able to get 60l easy in here.

I want that front edge more aft by the front edge of the transom....small boat maximise fishing room.
Tow point would want to be maybe 100mm higher to clear motor in steep chop while dredging.
Obviously I need to clear the motor at full up too.
Im thinking if I have good width (800) I wont need much depth 350?

800 you will piss in 4 rod holders on aft edge.
Yea no worrys....any thoughts on a drawer underneath for lures/jigs etc?Quote:

Attachment 52875 i made this for my boat if you are keen for the odd livey to easy put 3 or 4 rod holders and just bolted to transom strong as fuck make sure you have a drain at back and somewhere to put tackle and knives the live bait tank is an awsome place to bleed fish out or just watch fish swim around if its going slow
always fucking sideways or upside down
I like but I dont like.Quote:

I have put a bit of thought into a livey tank of late......havent sold myself on the idea yet,down here I have never caught anything on a live bait and when the fuckers are around I cant catch a thing because they are eating all my burly.
Also as much as practical I want to get weight forad away from the transom.
Is the tread plate the top of your tank or just a lift out cover over the tank?Quote:

make sure you make an expansion chamber if fitting fuel tank or you will always have fuel coming out your breather
Can you elaborate on that please?Quote:

breather at the front is a good idea you only really need expansion chamber if plan on leaving tank full but even on hot days the expansion of the fuel can make the boat very fumey
Yeah that works great for me :sick::sick::sick::oh noes:Quote:

Basicly a chamber in vent line above tank that can catch a glug of fuel and drain it straight back into the filler hose.
I can type I can read but put a pen in my hand and im a bloody retard.

My tank is an absolute bloody bitch to fill right to the top. Unless boat is dead level. Otherwise it "belches" fuel everywhere.
Normally I get fed up so it only filled to 3/4 max.
How easy are they to empty ? . As in store up for 3 mths , and don't want fuel to go bad . Outboard mechanic told me is the number one reason two smokes do a piston " stale fuel" . My mates got under floor tank . Always belching out fuel and fumes . The gauge is unreliable . And they can't drain it . No disrespect to your engineering capabilities , but I would take it into consideration . As is a small boat tote tanks are user friendly .

Mine has been sitting for ages, gets fuel octane booster and ring free into the tank
Ring free ?Quote:

Yeah personally unless you have range issues or space issues I'd be running tote tanks your drawing is spot on I wouldn't make you expansion chamber any smaller than 2 litres and make to return line to filler as close to your fill point as possible so you get a similar effect to filing a car
The advantage with tote tanks is you can steal the gas for your lawnmower and car unless it's premix
Do that:sick: got some premix three year old 4st mower still runs.Quote:

Im struggleing to find any negatives here....tank removable,even syphonable if real lazy.
Also as it is filled and emptyed it wont make the boat list as weight is removed from one side at a time like with the totes.
Do it
Go under floor, stale fuel??? Shit your in the fishing centre in the country
Be more of a problem keeping it full
Got 300 under floor in ours don't have a expansion tank
Don't have fumes or fuel spills
Yea to my mind if it is spewing fuel out the tank is a f up and the filler and vent are wrongly located.Quote:
