Why this transom-mount kit stands out

• Keep bait alive and ready — the built-in 500 gph bilge pump circulates water through the tank, helping to oxygenate and refresh the bait, which can extend shelf-life during trips.
• Space-efficient, aft-mounted design — mounting to the transom frees up deck space and places the bait tank within easy reach, ideal for smaller boats or crowded cockpit areas.
• All-in-one solution — everything you need for a reliable bait-sling setup is included or ready to connect: the tank, pump, hose, clamps, and tail, reducing the guesswork and multiple orders.
• Versatile for various fishing scenarios — perfect for day-long outings, tournaments, or weekend trips where keeping live bait healthy translates to more bites and better results.

Practical use and setup tips

• Plan the layout on the transom so the hose runs minimize bends and stay above water level to prevent siphoning.
• Power the 12V bilge pump from the boat’s battery system and test the pump flow before heading out to ensure consistent water movement.
• Secure all connections with the included clamps (16–27mm) to prevent leaks during splash and rough seas.
• Regularly inspect the hose and tail for signs of wear, and flush the system after trips to maintain optimal performance.
