making/fitting a portable live bait tank to Ali boat?

 Has anyone on here done it? I find it hard to keep my herring alive all the time with an aerator in a bucket(other than stopping and doing water changes) so I want some form of pump to get it continuously flowing . Any diy ideas/photos etc if any help please mention or pm . Cheers

 put a bin on the back step next to the motor plumb it up with a live bait tank water scoop and a over flow (pipe in and over flow out), as you move water is force fed into the bin via the pick up

I have the same scoop plumbed

I have the same scoop plumbed into my profish tank and works a treat ,flows from 5 knots and if stationary for more than 30 mins I just throw a bucket in and it will flow from overflow ,keeps all my bait/squid fresh and swimming .I also drift and reset fish a bit so constantly refreshes water .
