I am the maker of the Bubs Daddy Aerator. I don't recommend taking the pump out like that because it will now let the moisture into the case and cause more problems with the electronics. Just put a vent in the cooler so they don't build pressure in the cooler. Vent cooler and use a check valve that is provided with the aerator and you should be good.

My issue was the hole in the side of the aerator that the pump uses to get air was sucking water in, either from snow, or sloshing water. Once it got in the pump it froze. I just have it pulling air from inside the box now..I figured this was not recommended but had to do something

1 thing i noticed I have the next size up cooler and it actually as 3 holes 2 screw holes and 1 vent came like this from frabill wondering if I should seal up that hole bc it sits right under the pump and add the front vent to prevent water from being able to enter good idea or bad ? Let me know . Also I always waterproof all my electronic boards. You can buy what's called conformal coating i do this on all the drones I build works really well and pretty cheap.

I have the Engel, and while I like the box itself, you're right. The aerator set up sucks. Usually when I get to the fishing hole, the aerator is laying on the other side of the boat/truck, because it has flown off and pulled loose from the feeder hose.

That is great thinking about the gas tank vent! Sure that must help keeping air moving through the system NOTED!

I've been using this for the past couple seasons and I just had one of the clasps break off while it was riding behind the sled. I've seen some people with metal replacements but can't seem to find them now. Any suggestions?

Few I’ve seen use the rubber ones I linked in the description. Screw them in and use epoxy to hold the screw
