| Tuna Tubes & Bait Tanks |
|
Bluewater Extreme Tuna Tube
and Bait Tank moldings provide the core of our one-stop bait tank
/ livewell product range. |
|
Bluewater Extreme Tuna Tubes are made to
suit installation inside the transom or side combing areas
of the gamefishing boat cockpit. |

(For in-combing installation, with overflow
water falling on deck. Polished stainless steel cover plate
available.) |
(For in-combing installation, with overflow
water piped away. Can be routed to the bait tank.) |
(For transom installation, typically on trailer
boats) |
|
It is recommended to install tuna tubes
in-combing, if at all possible, to produce a tidy installation
and have good flow characteristics. |
|
 |
|
Bluewater Extreme Bait Tanks may be
under-deck, in-transom or free-standing as required. Use one
of our standard moldings, or we can easily build or adapt
custom molds to meet your requirements. |
|
High-flow feed
pumps are used for water supply, with overflow piped overboard. Diaphram-type positive-displacement
pumps are used for pumping out tanks after use. Tanks are dry when not
in use and can be used for storage or even cool boxes. |
|
Systems can be
water fed from engine driven feed pumps if preferred, but it is
recommended to include electric feed pumps to allow bait tanks to be
operational overnight on anchor if required. Pumps are sized to provide
required water supply at minimum current draw. Individual pumps are
recommended for each tank/system to
allow independent operation (i.e. in dual tank installations). |
|
|
Individual pumps also reduces issues of access
to change-over valves in difficult access areas, with all functions
operated from
the cockpit control panel (or main breaker board). The diaphram-type
positive-displacement pumps will pump solids (fish scales, fish
waste, krill, plankton), removing the requirement for any pump filter
and the requirement to crawl below-decks to clean a filter. |
|
Fiberglass
tanks and tubes are molded producing a smooth glossy gelcoat easy clean
interior surface, in your choice of gelcoat colour (see above
pictured 120 liter tanks in ocean blue gelcoat). Exterior finish is
textured fiberglass with white gelcoat. Tanks can be insulated to enable
them to be used as coolboxes/fishboxes/etc, and can also incorporate
refrigeration. |
|
Systems
include all components and fittings (e.g. pumps, sea-cocks, through-hull
fittings, pipe fittings, pipework) and electrical components including
main breakers and waterproof remote switch panel (e.g. for cockpit) (BEP
Marine equipment). |

Bluewater Extreme Ltd standard warranty applies to
all equipment and work not otherwise covered by a manufacturers
warranty. |
