    ac/dc mini freezer

    Anyone ever put one of these on their boat. Thinking of it to keep ballyhoo frozen while fishing. That way do not thaw out bait I might not use and have to refreeze. Refreezing seems to diminish the bait and cause washout or mushy bait. I could pull some out of this and thaw in a bucket of...

    Insulation

    Attached is image of the cover to my live well. The live well is most often used as a fish box and is insulated fairly well on sides and bottom. The cover is about 1 in deep and as you can see uninsulated. Hoping for ideas how to insulate this area and hopefully keep ice better in the summer.

Currently my only problem is that I am pretty sure both gauges are reading my main tank and showing the level of that tank on both gauges. The garmin engine screen does read tank 1 and tank2 and gives...
