Purchased a w719 fly high 1100 lb rear locker ballast bag for my '14 LSV and used it for one weekend. I decided that I would prefer to have the dual drain 1100 lb bag so I can add an additional bag under the seats and plumb it off from the second drain port. Again, I installed and used it for one weekend and the bag is in perfect condition. I am looking to get $180 for it delivered. It could also be picked up in Grand Rapids, Mi.
Just a thought....couldn't you plumb the addl bag off the vent of the 1100?
yes or tee the fill line.

All good options so keep them coming. The factory lines are in good spots right and if possible, I would like to keep them as they are. With the dual drain bag, i think it would be a cleaner final product. Thoughts? I am also hoping to put a valve between the bags to not use the port underwear bag when wakeboarding.
So you are saying you want to plumb from the stock bags drain fitting to the extra bags fill fitting? How would you empty the extra sack? Im having trouble visualizing here.
As long as you have a check valve on the vent line it will drain just fine with your plan. I have a W707EXV (750lb) plumbed to a W703 (260lb) on each side of my rear, works well, but I need to go to 1100's now. Cause I have the room and too much isnt a real thing.
I would be connecting the bottom port of the 1100 lb bag (second drain port located opposite of the first drain port) to the bottom port on the bag under the port seat. I am thinking about going with the sumo 450 lb bag under the seat. I was planning to vent/overflow from the top of the 1100 lb bag which is the same as the boat came with. I was not planning to run a vent line from the top of the 450 lb bag under the port seat.
Joel, Where did you install the check valve in your set-up? Do your bags drain slower with the check valve? I assume the check valve keeps the first bag from draining and not allowing the second smaller bag to drain all the way. Correct?
The new 1100 lb bag I want has two ports on the bottom. One on each end of the bag. I would not be draining from the bottom of the bag under the seat to the top of the bag in the rear locker. The line would run from the bottom port on the 1100 bag to the bottom port of the 450 lb bag under the seat. Does that help?Quote:

Need some tees and wyes now:confused:
Your current bag already has a port on the top at the opposite end of the bag from the fill port, correct? If so, why not run your new hose from that port to the new bag under the seat? Then just take the current vent hose off the locker bag and move it to the bag under the seat. The bag under the seat would fill once the locker bag is full and with the addition of a check valve both bags would drain very effectively.
I would like the ability to add a ball valve in the line to the bag under the seat to turn it on and off. If I move the vent line to the bag under the seat, then I have to shift my hoses around each time I switch from surfing to wakeboarding because I am not running the same set-up on both side of the boat. All in our group surf regular.
I tee'd the fill/empty line to my 1100, and added a 370# bag under the port seats. I added a ball valve in the line to the 370 so I could not fill it when I have extra people or am wakeboarding. My vent line still goes from the top of the 1100 (with a check valve), and there is no vent in the 370. Seems like what you want to do will accomplish the same thing... Not sure if there are advantages to your way, aside from maybe not having the length of hose that I have running from the tee to the 370....
That's a good option.
Check valve is just inside the overboard vent. It allows everything to suck dry when draining with the 2way pumps. It does need a bit longer to drain, but it's ok. I just start the front and rear at the same time and the back takes 2 min longer(ish). Same setup, drain port to fill port, but I put a ball valve in there to help out when just looking to fill the rear. Small bag has no vent at all, slides up under the seats and adds to the wave
What CSM said is probably a better setup as I have to assist in the draining of the small bag sometimes. So save your money and add the tee and hose. Then you don't have to buy new bags. I may just do that myself when I get the money to get my 1100's soon...
I would do it this way, simple. do you get full emptying of the 1100 with the 370 valve open?Quote:
