One leg will work with the check valves. I ended up putting a 1 inch Y(not a t) and hooking into both legs.Quote:

I think I am going to give this a shot in my 05 LSV, however my center bag doesn't have a top vent, it only has fill and drain holes at one end. My current plan to handle this is to insert a Y or T fitting on the current fill line that will branch off to the new IBS and center sacs. Any ideas on if this should still work?
Use a Y fitting, it seems to split the water more evenly unless at absolute end of a run.Quote:

Thanks for the link on adding the vent, looks very simple.Quote:

sounds right, but i actually plumbed in two drain pumps in my set up,
LSVboombox i believe broke ground on this so i will defered to him, but that seems right.
I would split the line right at your current vent/thru hull. Then hook in one side to the center sac and one to the bow sac. I ended up installing a new vent for the ibs as its really and easy jobQuote:

Thats what I thought, either way I am about to put my order in with wakemakers. The plan is to add a new outlet from the center sac and split it with a Y to each leg of the IBS, if it drains back into the center sac great, if not I will add some drain pumps.Quote:

I have a simple, but may be considered odd, question. If you have two rear sacs, a ski locker (or walkthrough sac) and this IBS sac under the bow seats where in the world are you guys storing all of your equipment (vests, ropes, bumpers, etc) Just curious where all you store your stuff when a lot of storage space is being taken up by fat sacs.
Not that I don't love the idea of the IBS but that's where I keep extra USCG vests for those on my boat just hanging out who don't board. It's a question I think of when I see folks taking their boats to the max with sacs and stuff. (not that you are, please don't take it like I'm directing this at anyone). Just curious that's all.
My boat is stored on a boat lift all summer so I dont carry bumpers as all my friends docks have bumpers on them. Extra few lifejackets are stored under the rear seats. I am not offended at all hahahaah I do try to take my ballast to the max! I keep my rope on top of one of my rear bags same with my wake surf rope.
We are on a small lake so there is no need for storage. As I just drop back to the cottage and pick up what ever I need.
My new reversible system is going to be installed tomorrow and I am even looking a "piggy back system" to add another sac for surfing and one more 400 for on top of the ski locker.
If it is really rough I do not fill it all the way up because you will take waves over the bow. hahahaha
I have 16 vests on top of a 750 on one side and the other side have floating stuff on top of 1100.
Ropes and related in rope locker (really a great feature more boats should have). Towels, anchor and misc in rear facing seat. Bags and sandals in observer seat storage. Bow cover and extra ropes in bow. Bouys in rear seat. pump in small cooler. Small cooler occasionally used for trash
I guess i'm one of the few that actually use the cooler. most of my crew usually knows not to show up with hands full of unneeded stuff. I'm not a big proponent of lunch on the boat so food is minimal.
Storage is one of the benefits to a big boat :D
ooh, and rope box doubles as trash can.

Saskie you have it ideal, I guess my question pertains more to those who have to tow to their riding spots and carry gear. KG, you sound like you have it all thought of, I think I'm going to have to rethink the way I have my stuff stored. No lunch on the boat, damn, don't you get hungry? Well I guess it all depends on the way your boarding days are spent. For me and my crew and the other crew members with their own boats it's an all day thing, so lunch is a must. Plus we raft up at lunch for a few hours while the Wally's tear up the water.
Rope box? KG is this something like the EZ Net or a feature on those super sick supra's I've been dreaming about.
I've got a water proof boat bag I keep my ropes in under bow cushions along with anchor, dock ropes, and tow rope just in case. Extra life vests to.
Personal clothing, towels, etc go under observer seat along with tool bag (not that I know how to fix anything without the help of forum). I use the cooler also for its intended purpose.
Vests go on top of my newly installed 750's along with occasional (forgive me now) tube. Food and or trash go under seats behind captains chair along with whatever other junk might find its way on boat. I try not to be to anal about bringing unneeded stuff aboard but most of the time I don't do real well in that area.
Of course more room would be better but we make do and I've not yet said to myself "I NEED more room". Not out loud to my wife anyways....
I've got 4 fat sacs with bags and tsunami pump that I'll leave in rear storage also

Cigars, we have a subway and 2 resorts (one diner style, the other a little fancier) all within a 5 minute boat ride of our normal cove. I try to convince everyone we are best of to hit one of those up. No such thing as 5 dollar footlong, though, ha. Often we hit one for lunch and another for dinner unless we cook out back on land.
Jason, it is a cubby in the center locker hatch. Wood box above engine accessed from stern, platform basically. Ive only seen it on 24s of my body style, I believe. Ropes in waterproof bag huh? Lol

I'm just trying to find a deal on an IBS sack no one needs anymore!
"Ropes in waterproof bag huh? Lol"

Lol, wait...wut?
Hmmmm ...
I got nothing, lol. You stumped me there

Y'all got big arse 24's but I'm just floating on a lil ol 21.6. I keep the ropes in the bow, sometimes take a roller, and this way all the ropes I don't use stay dry and organized in one of those marine grade type bags with a handle. C'mon I can't be the only one here. I like a tidy boat!
Petty, that shi cray!
Its a rope!
I'm gonna have to take a pic of my set up now so you dudes don't think I've gone crazy. Where y'all keep all your ropes?
You done got me in a pickle Cigar!!
I'm not sure a pic is the answer :p
But out of curiosity, would that camera have a waterproof housing?

Smackity smack
This is the best I could find for now of the 24 rear rope locker. The square in blue opens from the back, so when standing on the platform you can get gear out of there. At any given point I have 3 ski ropes, 2 surf ropes, a dock line or 2, and how ever many empty cans we have. I am really hoping this feature gets added back to the 242 soon.....

That's tight! I always wondered what that compartment was for.
Doesn't appear anyone else uses a waterproof bag for the their watersports gear Jason ....
No it sure doesn't, and if they do they ain't owning up to it now that's for sure

Guinsha, The spring check is to help divert the flow up to the IBS. A regular check will allow the water from the floor sac to just flow out the through-hull, rather than pushing it up to the IBS.Quote:

I can only imagine what that looks like. You pulling a rope out of a waterproof bag, on a BOAT, on the WATER, and then using the rope, IN THE WATER.
Priceless.
That little locker is cool. And I can see how you store so much now, you've got a much bigger boat than my 21v.
Oh and it seems like I need to move to a lake like KG and Saskie!
Ok thanks, unfortunately I already ordered 3 of the check valves from wakemakers along with all the other parts I needed to install the new ibs and also decided to go ahead and vent my other other bags with Y fittings and check valves and add a piggy back off the back 750s for wakesurfing.Quote:

If you don't use the three check valves I will buy them from you if they are one inch, I assume the 12's vent with one inch.Quote:

I got all 5 of my check valves at Lowes. Just PVC stuff. Then I glued the threaded connectors in each end to use the type of hose barb fitting I wanted to for each application.
Went with the cheaper one for 13.
