I got an idea today from one of my Techs in service. I was checking out his street bike and he had a bag on the fuel tank and it was held on to the tank by magnets. I started thinking... we could glue magnets inside the hull and then we could put magnets on the underside of say a tackle bag or whatever.

What do you guys think?

actually i had done this already. check out it here http://www.bigwatersedge.com/bwevb/s...?t=6394&page=5
i had gotten these magnets from sears. they were used to hold up your tools but i just cut it in half and used the magnets strips and gooped it to the ledges on the hobie outback. then i used metal strips from the hardware store and duct taped them to the bottom of the plastic tackle boxes.
it worked great. done thru surf launches and yard sales and the tackle boxes remained in place. these are not the usually back magnets that you see on refrigerators but the earth magnets that you find in hard drives. they are real strong.

I were at that as well. Were thinking about putting a magnet on the inside of the kayak then take some stainless steal tube and put in the center of the paddle. So when I wanted to get the paddle out of the way fast, The magnets would hold it in place till I need it again.

that might work if stainless steel were magnetic...but I don't think it is...

Stainless Steel is not magnetic enough to work for what you want it to do.

another project. Looking for a spot to put the switch and the batter.
Took it out in the water bait lasted for around 6 hours.
problems I found was that the scales don't drain out.

Nice design.. are you putting a timer on there? I'm wondering if it's necessary? It seems like a good idea to preserve battery life, but I'm not sure how long the battery would last if I just let it run the whole time.

Us a 6v for the bait and it will last all day.

Try 4xx alloy stainless steel. The nickle free SS are generally magnetic.

i made a tank like yours out of my gatorade tank because the fish need electrolytes to stay hydrated.

I ran an inflow and outflow hose and it recycles the water better and having the cooler insulated the water stays at the same temp as in the ocean/lake/river, etc. I have it wired with my FF to my 12v 10.5 amp hour and it lasts nearly all day for a marathon of fishing.
