I think that PVC 90 angle and long arm will take a lot of stress when you tangle up some big kelps.

Should I use all hose from the 90 off the box to the water then ?

That looks good!

How many gallons is that thing? Have been on the water with it full of bait and water? Again, looks good but it seems like it may get heavy once its filled.

Easiest way I would just hook a supporting rope around the rod holder and the end of that long arm, share the load.

Not the prettist,but the easiest.

I test filled it the other day and it took approximately 10.5 gallons. Im taking it this Monday for a shake down.

10.5 isn't badbut are you sure that's accurate? The Hobie bait tank hold about 8 gallons (depending on how high your drain is positioned) and yours seems a lot larger, or is it the picture that makes it look larger?

Its real close on the gallons.....I used a 5 gallon bucket to fill it to the over flow....you can see the overflow is quite a was from the top and the curves reduce the size too......Ill do an exact today and know for sure.....either way if its to big all i need to buy is a smaller container all the other parts are there...... Learn by doing i guess

If it holds to much water just plug the drain hole and rill another one, no need to go out and buy a new cooler
