I can hear the motor running, but no water was getting to the tank. it was a good thing that I filled it before we left with the hose to keep the bait alive. Aerator worked fine.2)I got a snag and my rod broke in half within 5 minutes of fishing....had 2 backups, so not a huge deal, but still...it sucked.3) after fishing for awhile, my fishing buddy said he could see water under the floorboards forward of the mid seat....but back by me there was none. the boat was front heavy, even w/motor, gas tank, battery and me in the back.
