Marine Metal PB-5 14 Inch Bait Saver Aerator, 12 Volt Sealed Bait Bucket Aerator Pump
The Marine Metal PB-5 is a 14 inch sealed bait saver aerator built to keep live bait active and healthy in a bucket or livewell. Running on 12 volts and drawing only 3/4 amp, the PB-5 is designed to run for extended periods off a boat battery without placing a heavy load on the electrical system. The sealed pump produces a steady, dense stream of bubbles to keep water oxygenated while operating very quietly, making it well suited for anglers who want a dependable aerator without excess noise at the boat or dock.
The PB-5 comes with a filter to help protect the pump from debris, a 6 foot electrical cord for flexible placement away from the battery, and large solid copper battery clips for a secure, corrosion-resistant connection to a 12 volt power source. The unit is a pump only; a bucket is not included, so it can be added to an angler's existing bait bucket or livewell setup. At 14 inches in length, the PB-5 is compact enough to fit inside standard bait buckets while still delivering enough aeration for typical live bait storage needs.
