i went out last weekend and b/f i did i checked my switch on my hobie tank. it didn't turn on. i rechecked my battery and verified that it was fully charged using a volt meter. then i looked to see the wires were connected and not hanging.
once i did these checks i started to fiddle around with the pull switch on the outside of the tank. i noticed that if i pulled it out fully it would not turn on. but if i pulled it out gently and partially it would.
i know that there are issues with this on the hobie tanks with corrosion but i spray everything down with fresh water after each time i go out and apply electrical grease on the switch, but it seems that the problem in further inside the switch where i can't reach.
in the mean time i am able to use my tank by pulling the switch out partly and making sure that i don't bump into it while fishing. i have to remind myself that if it is too quiet on the water then i better check on my bait tank. last sunday i had to restart my bait tank a couple of times.
