Re: Bait tank timer
I've been using the 30 sec. on/3 min. off type timer for about a year now and, knock on wood, all is working well. I do keep the electronics covered - not waterproof but splashproof, and I think that makes the difference. Also, I'm using the full 12 volts, but I keep my inlet fitting (HomeDepot/Lowes variety) pointed downward, and that doesn't seem to overly stress the bait.
Some options - waterproof box from most Walmarts - the small size is enough room for the timer/switch electronics - about $5 and change. Additional flow restrictors for the inlet - put a series of small holes in a cap for the inlet or add additional holes to a garden bubbler... hope this is some help  John

Re: Bait tank timer
I know we went a different route, but since I switched from using a 12 battery to a 6 volt battery the bait lasts alot longer and doesn't get beat up nearly as much as it did with the 12 volt pump. Just for reference, I'm using the Rule360 pump on it. Keeping the timer splashproof if not waterproof is a very good idea. Even with units that look sealed, a bit of seepage can cry havoc with electronics. TC&TL,
Perry
