Super User Chris at Tech Posted January 27, 2011 Super User Posted January 27, 2011 Hey guys, I'm wondering if this part exists. I have a customized jonboat that I use to occasionally fish small tournaments. The livewell setup would be a portable one using a cooler that I take in and out of the boat as needed. As such, I don't have pumps already setup to fill and empty the cooler integrated into the boat. I'm hoping to find a pump that can plug into a 12v adapter that I can use to fill and empty water out of the livewell cooler. Anyone seen such a device? I've searched a bit but no dice so far. Quote
Ima Bass Ninja Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 Not 12v but this may work for ya http://www.walmart.com/ip/WaterBuster-Cordless-Water-Pump/11071174 i use one of these at work for irrigation repair to move water out of the irrigation boxes and it works like a charm.. Quote
Al Wolbach Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 Easy to make one using a bilge pump. Just solder a cigarette lighter adapter onto the wiring along with some 3/4 in tubing or garden hose.............Al Quote
bass or bass ? Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 Easy to make one using a bilge pump. Just solder a cigarette lighter adapter onto the wiring along with some 3/4 in tubing or garden hose.............Al That's what I use, and I use it for aeration as well. Just use PVC pipe and elbows to extend the top of the tubing above the water level. Put a cap at the top and drill some small holes around the edge for water to come out and spray the water surface. Then use flexible tubing for pumping the water in or out. Quote
