Rear ballast bag connection
Filling up for surfing and my ballast came loose spilling water everywhere. Notice that the quick connect elbow that a piece was busted off. So I need one of these

Rear ballast bag connection
Why don't you just get a hoseclamp from Lowes? I just did my hole project with those. Sure the crimp ones look nicer but are a PITA to remove if you ever need to.

I second the hose clamps. Quick and easy to disconnect for whatever reason later.

Is this a common problem!?!? I just installed 2 1100lb bags in the back and I didn't even think about something like that happening... that would not be fun!!

Mine happens every once in a while, I also noticed the back panel of the ballast location has had two screws loose, don't no if this was causing it

I used the pinch clamps around the bags and regular hose clamps everywhere else. Old end nippers make a good tool for pinch clamps. I like the zip tie idea.
