Wow that was quick, thanks guys.
Kaveman - just the one, as the way i look at it if we catch 1 billfish each season im a happy man, so if that 1 tube catches another for us its a bonus, and paid for itself.
Cheers
 
ps - will post a pic when its all finshed, as its a bit of a fibreglass retrofit easily removeable tuna tube.

Richard, just doing our setup at the moment and running the same pump with the same scenario, we are getting abit of additional welding done to accomodate the live bait tank and plan to have a small plate extending off the transom to have a flat intake which will be under the water regardless of speed - plan to be just running just 1 tube off this or the livie tank - flagging the gravitational feed.. ]]> Thu, 05 Aug 2010 20:44:17 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=55684&PID=802417&title=tuna-tubes#802417 <![CDATA[Tuna Tubes : Richard.. heaps do it that way,no...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=55684&PID=802403&title=tuna-tubes#802403 Author: kaveman

Richard.. heaps do it that way,no worry about being under water all the time, in fact better than getting air pockets. How many tubes you running?]]> Thu, 05 Aug 2010 20:25:37 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=55684&PID=802403&title=tuna-tubes#802403 <![CDATA[Tuna Tubes : yes mate no drama with that, must...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=55684&PID=802400&title=tuna-tubes#802400 Author: Blue Asparagus

Hi guys, sorry for hi jacking the thread but couldnt be bothered starting up yet another tuna tube thread, as i just have one question, can i mount an 1100gph rule livebait pump through one of the plates on the trim tabs on our trailer boat to service a tuna tube, my concern is that the whole pump including the wires going into the unit will be underwater at times especially when the boat is at rest and probably still when trolling. I have the pump and instructions but cant see anything saying you cant.
There will only be a small slightly angled protrusion below the trim tab so it shouldnt be to much drag on that one side, i hope.
 
Cheers Richard

With the ball valve on the bypass. I like it.

Ball valve is the way to go if you want to be able to adjust the flow.

If you want to restrict he flow permanently use a smaller pump, what you pump in one end is going to come out the other end.

If you want less pressure in the tube without restricting the flow then run a smaller diameter hose from the pump and then into a larger hose before the tubes. As the water enters the big hose it will slow down and enter the tubes with less velocity and wont blow the baits out.
