Thread: Engel bait keeper

I considered getting one of these but I thought the Aerator was noisy and the cooler was high so I just took an old igloo drilled a hole in the top to run the air hose thru got me a bubble box and it works great. Lot cheaper than a engel. EB

Thanks for all the feedback.

I installed one of the 12 volt Marine Metals bubblers with two aerator hoses on my boat. I have one in the live well and one in my minnow bucket. i wanted something similar to the Engels bait cooler but I only wanted the cooler. I found an Igloo "ice Cube" that had a small compartment in the lid. I cut out the bottom of the compartment, drilled a hole in the side for the aerator hose and gave it a trial run today. It was not scorching hot today, got to 85 before I left. i had 3 dozen in there to start and all were kicking when I left 4 hours later. The water was still really cool too. I think this is going to work really well.
I like the small access door so I don't have to open the main lid to get minnows.

The cooler was under $20 at Walgreens, of all places.

Thanks SeaRay. I'll see if they have them here. Really like that one.
