The Hank – dual tube, in well system with easy removal mount

Description

The Hank is ThatGuy’s dual tube, in well tube system. Based on ThatGuy’s standard tube, designed to keep two medium sized baits alive in each tube, The Hank provides a shortened height to allow fittment under livewell lid support structure. Each tube utilizes a full column of moving water to keep baits alive longer.

The Hank has been modifed from ThatGuy’s lid mountable tubes to allow full water return into the bait/live well. A reduced height front maked loading and unloading bait easier while keeping bait secure in the tube. Each tube is threaded to accept a 3/4″ NTP fitting allowing direct attachment of 500GPH Rule/Attwood pumps or 800 GPH Attwood pumps. Direct attachement to high capacity, onboard pumps canbe accomdated as well.

The Hank utilizes a unique mounting system make removal of the tube and suction mount simple. Lift the tube up and forward, then remove the suction mount and mounting bracket. Spacers are available to change the offset from the mounting surface to the back of the tubes. The Hank’s default mount is “single suction mount” for a two tube unit, but mounting bars can be manufactured to allow array style tube mounting.

The Hank’s base dimensions are 8.25″x6.25″x14.25″ without pumps.

The Hank’s standard dimensions with 4.5″ suction mount, standard mounting bracket, and Attwood 500GPH pump are 8.25″x9.25″x17.25″. This is the “as designed”, fully rigged specification.

As with all of ThatGuy’s designs, The Hank can be fully customized to suit mose needs. Feel free to inquire if you have questions regarding your unique requirements.

Hank Williamson, captain of Sweet Melisa, was the kick in the pants to create The Hank. Hank had a need, was patient with some design set backs and changes. In the end, the product is better thanks to his willingness to give me time to make it work.
