Since I ain't fishing, I thought I would tear up the boat.

How about some central air? After a couple years of fishing this rig, I thought I would get around to adding a couple more options. My intentions were to have have done this some time ago, but I've been putting it off. Since I was going to be adding a new sonar unit, I thought I would get myself in gear and add some "central air". No, it won't keep you cool on those hot summer days, but it will keep those minnows aerated without a person having to listen to the hammering of the air pump the whole time you fish. Here is the start, and I'll add other pictures as I go along. It is simply running air lines to the front and rear of the boat and adding a 12 volt dual output aerator under the console. Here is the console, and sonar wiring ripped out getting ready to make the additions and changes.

Here is the brass air fitting for the front mounted on the front switch panel.

It's not an original idea and I think it will work out nicely, enabling us to get rid of the air pump noise, and eliminating the need to buy D cells for the little aerators we have used in the past.

Good deal and hope it works fine. Now order that timer for the livewell . :highfive

It will sure make it nice not to listen to that pump racket.

Been working on mine today also. Had a Jerry rigged set up with line running everywhere and decided today was the day to fix it. Hope yours goes easier than mine. Routing that hose from left side of boat around the front and down the right side through just barley holes you can't reach then having to build my own bulkhead fitting to attach lines to. And this Wareagle must have 1000 self tapping screws holding it together and everyone is sharp. Look like I been in a knife fight. It will all be worth it. That double pumper is the cats meow over them little singles.

Got it on mine works great can't hear the pump running

Another diy depth finder mount. Solid as a rock and fully adjustable.

You are the master of DIY boat rigging! I think I remember your thread from several years ago still.

Looks good.

Looks Good Mr. RCC!

Making some progress. Stainless valves are ordered so I can mix and match my air flow to the front and rear.
