I’m not 100% understanding, do you have a pump to pump in fresh water to the tank ? If not, you need one, bait fish need constant fresh water circulating in the tank and an outflow hose (blue pool hose size) to remove water, ammonia, and scales. If you do have a pump, you need at least a 800gph pump for that tank with no obstructions on the hose (with the exception of a ball valve with the same diameter) so nothing lowers or restricts the water flow from the pump to the tank. Water has to enter at the bottom and your hose diameter should be at least the same size as a garden hose. Your outflow water should pour out of your outflow hose constantly at a good rate. Bait fish especially sardines, need clean oxygenated water. If your tank is the same size, it should handle a full scoop of sardines with a 800gph pump or larger. Make sure to buy a good name brand pump like Rule or Johnson, they pump out water true to their specs. A smaller Kodiak tank does well with a half scoop. The trial and error sucks with a new tank set up, sardines are not cheap, but once you get it dialed in, the bait fish will last all day with minimal dead loss.

@@SoCalSeaChaser Oohh this that makes sense so when I get going I can have water moving through the bait tank so the fish won’t die. Okay still a working progress thank you!

@@user-pm3bp6cq4x Your pump needs to be ON the entire time pulling fresh water in from the ocean and back out the outflow hose, no matter if you’re driving around or stopped, the water in the tank needs constant fresh water circulation to keep them alive. Also the current created in the tank from the fresh water coming in, helps sardines school together and swim in a circular direction conserving their energy and not swimming erratically which injures them. Sardines are very delicate.

Yes I replaced it with a Geloo (generic brand), KUS USA is supposed to be better, but no issues so far with Geloo. It's a 16" 240-33 ohms fuel sender. It does not go all the way to the bottom, 17" might with the tank I have. But for me the 16" is good because when it reads EMPTY, I know I have roughly 5 gallons left. Thanks for watching ! a.co/d/awA1q7A

Are you referring to the screen at 17:30? If so that was a $2 "rain gutter guard" I got from Home Depot.

Yes the analog gauge will continue to work connecting it in the way as seen in the video.

Thank you

I used either 14 or 16awg, but I believe it was 14.

I know the PO of my SR19 has watched those videos and he sent me a message saying nice work. Fortunately that boat was is really good shape.

Ha ha, thank you, that day if you can’t tell was a bit frustrating 😆

Thank you Q! Yeah they are 100% addicted to hoop netting. This summer we’ll have to meet up and do some fishing.🎣

Thank you !

No I sold it last year.

They were already on the boat when I bought it.

I sold that boat, but I used the same ones on my other boat and they’re still holding strong as long as the fiberglass is clean and smooth.

Here’s a link to a picture of the color mix label I got from PYI when they did the color match at Sherwin Williams. imgur.com/nCwKxDy FYI, I sent them my small floor hatch lid near the helm to color match it. The color was not spot on, but the contrast was very nice.

Thank you checking out my videos and you said it perfectly, I too miss those days.👍

Yeah it’s a pretty cool arch, super sturdy, and solid made. Thanks for watching!

Literally the only shaking of the video is from 1:30 to 2:20 and about 10 seconds of that is still frames with the majority of that segment is me loosing and tightening screws. 👍 Thank you for “watching”

Thank you for subbing and appreciate the comment man! Yeah it's just the way it goes with KZbin. That Century was the first one I got into not knowing much, then it became an addition lol. Glad I could inspire you, you got a nice YT channel to0, just sub, love watching others from different parts of the country fish, keep it up! Tight lines.

@@SoCalSeaChaser hey thanks Sir..I'm hoping to get back into it some day.

Thank you and I believe it is.

Thank you and yes your analog tach will still work.

It was a good night, 3 sets and called it a night with breakfast, lunch, diner for both of us lol.

@@SoCalSeaChaser haha it's always a good night when you are out with friends and have something to bring back home. nice job!

@@naldodook For sure! We’re going to head out again the following weekend, trying to get in trips before the closure in March.

Thank you and thank you for subscribing!

I got close to my asking price which is found online. Thx

Yea he loves hoop netting and has got his rhythm down. We’ve been working on getting dialed in more every trip after a 2 and half year hiatus. That last spot we were in we caught 3 different species of crabs, not in LBH.

Thanks, it was good night out there. What I found out was the tires were old, 2013, way pass their prime and combined with the crappy 10 freeway, equaled a blow out. I should’ve bought new tires when I bought the boat, but now I got new tires all around, ready for round 2 soon!

Right on, glad my video was helpful, thank you sharing.👍🎣

Glad it helped you out, thanks for watching!

I’ve owned a 16 and 17 Sea Chaser and now a 19 Sea Ranger. If you’re going to be storing the boat in your garage, the 16 will fit like a car. The 17 is a bit taller and wider, so it depends on the height of your garage door opening and length. If you’re able to get the bow as low as possible on the 17, you should be able to push it in your garage. The wildcard for the 17 not fitting is if it’s on rollers or high bunks, more so on rollers since it sits very high. Some owners typically add a swing tongue and park it at a slight angle to fit in a garage. The average length of a 17 with the motor down to the coupler on the trailer is around 23 feet, give or take a foot, and about 7 feet tall. The 16 Sea Chaser is capable of running offshore on good days, but it will bob like a croak and might not be the greatest boat to go offshore in or choppy conditions, but I had zero issues running inshore out to the rigs etc. The 17 Sea Chaser is a very good mix of compact and range. It will go offshore and have a better ride given the bow is taller and the boat itself is wider, again conditions no matter the size plays a roll when going offshore. The 19 is better overall, but then you need to consider your storage options. Trailering these boats are easy and you get a lot space on the decks. The 16 and 17 Sea Chasers have a very close identical deck size, with the exception of the deck is wider and a couple inches taller on the 17 and the 17 has a wider and a foot longer bow. Overall the 17 is the best option imo. Good luck with your search!

@@SoCalSeaChaser thanks for the information. I will keep looking for a 17 for sale. Have you tried to make the crossing to Catalina from the South Shore launch ramp in any of your Arimas?

@@MultiGen3 Yes once in my 16, but conditions were glassy with a 2 foot swell. But I’ve taken my 16 out to the double rigs often and just last week took my 19 out there. The worst part about the island is coming back and the changing forecasts in the channel. Here’s a short video of me out at the double rigs in my 16 is good conditions. kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5rUqXZ6fJZladE

@@SoCalSeaChaser Great! Thank you!

Those are the sites you want to search. Become a member on arimaowners.com will also help you with your search.

Sorry no, this was my previous boat that I had sold.

I used to live in the South Bay too, but now I’m in the SGV.

@@SoCalSeaChaser thanks for reply !

Make sure you follow the steps setting it up, in the video it starts at 16:20. You won’t see much till you turn on your motor, like the RPM’s.

@@SoCalSeaChaser THANKS! I thought the Garmin unit would automatically recognize it. Hope that is the issue. Will try later this evening. Thanks again!

@@StructureFishing I don't have the boat anymore, but from memory I believe you do need to go in and set it up. Good luck and tell me how it goes !

@@SoCalSeaChaser I'm stumped. From what I read online, if I turn the outboard on not running it should be recognized. But it's not showing on my Garmin. Double checked all connections and have 12 volt power. When I went to NMEA settings, then device list it shows my Garmin in only option is to change the name. I guess I'll try this weekend with the engine running on the water and see if it works

@@StructureFishing Try this: With your key turned ON, power up your Garmin unit and go to - Gauge Set Up- Auto Configure Gauages first. Go back and select Engine Selection and it shoud auto detect your motor. If not you can choose Reset Auto Configuration. Then go back to Engine Selection and set Number of Engines to AUTO or select "1". Then go back to Gauge Set Up and select Set Gauge Limits. After that you should be able to go to your HOME screen and select Engine data or something similar, and see your gauges. You can turn on your motor for a couple seconds to see if the RPM gauge works on your Garmin.

In short, yes. But everything you have onboard will draw power even if you turn it off at the device since things like a chart plotter is in a ready state. I would highly suggest installing a battery ON/OFF switch from Blue Seas for your boat. It’s simple to hook up and will cut all power when your boat is not in use and you turn the battery switch to OFF. Thanks for watching!

Thank you, got to start them early 😄

Thank you!

I used a company called Sailrite Enterprises. Product is: Hull Blanket Headliner Carpet Type Ivory 72"

@@SoCalSeaChaser do you remember by any chance how many yards you ordered, I remember you mentioned that you didn’t order enough first time. I have 5’11” Arima Sea Explorer to work on. By the way, thank you so much for your rebuilding video content, finding really useful right now.

@@LeoStakhov Yes I order 4 yards and it was just enough, but I would have been more comfortable with 5. I also used 2 cans of spray glue. Very cool boat, the 16 foot version of mine. Thank you for the comment and watching!

Excellent choice and imo is the best model of Arimas. I would go with a 90, it helps keep the weight down and has plenty of power.

@@SoCalSeaChaser what suzuki model?

@@coffeedollsvp Suzuki DF90A

Thank you

Went to Catalina and the crossing was calm, so not a problem.

How many knots can this go

@@coffeedollsvp 24 knots or 28 mph with my Suzuki 60hp. I had a detuned 4 blade prop to get the best features of a 4 blade and a 3 blade prop. With the right 3 blade you would hit 30 mph.

Thank you for NOT watching! 👍
