Intake depth!

Your intake tube just needs to be just long enough so that it never comes outta the water. It shouldn't protrude too deep below the hull of your yak or else your yak will constantly turn in that direction. Sorta like when you brake with your paddle. My boat turns slowly right when I stop paddling and the bait tank is in the water. I'd say no more than a half inch below your hull line is enough. If you weigh 275 like me, it will usually stay submerged. If I were to go to the front of the yak, it might come out! If it's too short and comes outta the water when you go over a big steep swell, you will lose suction, you won't notice it, and all your bait will die(literally, it will drown!) ! Piranha ops: 8)
