    Default Engels bait bucket


    Well I had my Engel for 11 months and my air pump died I've heard a lot about them being junk so now I get to find a replacement I really like the cooler but the funny thing is I have a frabill that's really similar but a little to small that I've had since '07 and it's still going strong.

    I replaced mine with the frabill with the 12v adapter. Love it.

    Same here!

    I only got 4 days out of mine...

    Love the cooler, but Engel should be embarrassed to offer such a junk pump!

    I didn't give mine a chance to go out. It was so noisy, I used it one trip, shelved it and put a Marine Metals Quiet Bubbles on.
    Been on for a couple of years. 2 D batteries last about 7, 8 hour days.
    Tell'em I'll be there.
