Does anyone know where in Australia I can purchase a timer for my bait tank please?

Jay car have 12 volt timer modules for about $35, you will need to enclose them in a waterproof box and maybe wire them to a relay if your bait tank pump draws more then 3 amps.

More junk to fail.
Buy a smaller pump, buy a bigger battery, turn the water flow tap down.

I've herd bias boating sell what you are after. They have two types. One with just the relay and timer and the other with a switch, relay and timer.

Good luck dude!

There was a place at Stafford I found last year that had exactly what your after as I was thinking along the same lines but I went fishing and have since forgotten the name of the place.

maybe not online but my local shop has them in stock. Perhaps under electrical instead of live bait accessories? They're fairly expensive (why I havn't bought one) round $40

IMHO, buy an ON/OFF switch & use the sucker as needed. Get a Carling or other good brand & save yourself the trouble.

Not sure why the adjustable timer is essential but I have used one of the tanktimers for the last 4 years and they are great. I have never lost any baits as the settings on these seem to be optimal for large amounts of livies. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
