I'm finally getting around to swapping out my stock bags for 1100 rears tomorrow. I'm just curious on how easy or difficult this is to accomplish. I would like to think that I just disconnect the old bags and connect the new ones and DONE. Aside from changing the fill timers, is there anything else to consider. I'll be doing it at the marina so are there any tools that I need. thanks
I would suggest all new fittings for the new bags. The factory bags are cemented in, trying to get them out is a mother f! Other than that, pull, replace, change timer settings. Easy stuff
You will also need some plugs
Be careful when pulling factory bags out! They have a black, stretchy, bungee-like cord on the bottom of them. I was changing mine in the dark one night and the clip on the end of that cord caught on something and I thought it was just the weight of the water left in the bag pulling against me so I pulled harder. Little did I know that the plastic clip had caught on something on the way up and when it popped loose it hit me right in the right eyeball. I had perfect vision prior to this and now I only have about 30% or so of my vision left in that eye. Just a word of warning.
Hose extension too
Also, I ordered my 1100's from Wakemakers and they came with all new fittings and plugs.
I got mine from them also. I bought the Fly High Pro X Series Jumbo V-Drive Surf Sac (1100 lbs). It says they are a direct replacement for Moomba boats. I haven't even opened the box yet and I'm at work all night so I can't check what's in there.Quote:

If they get positioned in the wrong way, the weight of the full sac will pop the threads right out and then your bilge pump will work overtime to pump the water out! Won't hurt to glue them all in but the ones on top aren't an issue or at least that was my experience with just threading the bottom ones in.

Attachment 25818 are these the ones to glue on the bottom?
My top ones pop out too. Gotta glue them all in.

I used PVC cement. Worked great for me.

What he said
I just swapped out stock bags for 1100s in my helix and it took about 15 min. Mine were not glued in also I did not pvc the drain plugs the direction say it will void the warranty from wake makers. The original stock hose was a perfect fit so I did not change that eitherQuote:

Damn, that sounds like something that would happen to me. Sorry that it happened but the story is funny :DQuote:

I didn't glue as folks have mentioned, no issues so far but I might rethink that in the off season. Are most folks running something other than a plug for the front top fitting location? Since the back top is the overflow line I didn't think there was a need for a check valve vent fitting (for "burping").

I'm a bit concerned with the length since the sac compartment is only around 45-46" long? Are your sacs having to run under the header of the sac compartment pushing up to the bow and pinched? do they fill all the way?
