    Default Engel minnow bucket


    Does anyone have the 13 quart size engel minnow bucket. Im looking to buy a new one with a 12 volt adapter and like the looks of it. I was thinking about making my own, but by the time you buy everything I dont think there will be much difference in the price. I have a good frabil now but it takes 2 d batteries every weekend and if you figure that up plus the minnow that die when it goes out in the middle of the night, it wont take long to pay for a new one.

    I have the 30 qt and it works great. Use the 12v adapter and plug it into boat cigarette lighter plugin up front and it runs fine.

    Got one of those Power Bubbles mounted on my boat with the 2 outlets. Run one line on small front bucket and one on large bucket in back of boat. Have it setup with a T and valve where I can run back bucket and live well off one line. Have kept minnows 3/4 days in them buckets with it.

    I really dont like the frabil as the lid is bad already and if you leave it up front the water flies all over you going down the lake.

    Have had mine for a couple years now great container but really shines when summer gets here. Keep bait lively all day even in 90 degree weather. The adapter is great for those long rides to the lake.

    Pretty much John, it is as big around as it is tall. if i have to move and it's not windy and rough, i can leave it on the front deck. If their are a lot of waves or if GDG will let me run full throttle (80 mph), I move it to the floor board.
