Bait Tank Pickup

[Bundaberg_Bandit]

Just wondering if anybody out there uses a bait tank pickup without a pump attached. Like this photo

I want to know if it has enough pressure to use without a pump or are they just good enough to supply water to a pump at transom base level.

cheers

got mine from Whitworths $20 I think Cut some of the bend out of it so you don't get a rooster tail I used a 20ltr clear plastic container with screw on lid $20 make sure your overflow is large mine is pool hose fit 1" above the inlet even with the inlet comming in at the top it turnes the water over in the tank with no problem
