I can’t tell in that pic. Do they each have a pair of plugs close together on the bow side at the bottom?Quote:

I started filling and soon realized I forgot a plug on one of the stock bags. Duct tape saved the day!

Only good pic I got of the wave (without a rider) features my wife’s hind end, but figured y’all wouldn’t mind. This was with the stock bow bag full with 400lbs of lead up front, port side 100% and starboard around 80% @ 11.5mph, wake plate around 25% and surf tab @ 45%.

What were your thoughts on your sound deadening mods now that you had a chance to get the boat out? Wave looks good!
It was worth the time and money for sure. Now you primarily hear wind and water.Quote:

Everything worked great but they didn’t seem to drain as well as expected. One of the check valves didn’t seem to be working, when I put my hand over the thru hull it finally started to suck the rest of the water from the 720 through the rear bag and into the pump. I’ll have to make sure I didn’t install it backwards. Part of the issue could be an excessive amount of air in the system since it was the first time out.
I also realized the stock front bag has 2 vents/thru hulls so I need a second check valve up there.
I just put the check valve on after (distal) to the y’d connection of the 720 bag spliced into the front bags vent.
Edit. Nevermind, just realized you were talking about the front bag. I’ll have to go through your install, didn’t recall you doing the anything to the front bag. Not going to lie, I don’t even know how to access that sucker.
