Max surf settings??

I run in the mid 3000rpm range. Too much weight in the the back will not allow it to get moving well. You need the more balanced approach with some weight in the front to get the hull angle working for you. If I have a full boat of people I don’t need all the of the weight.
The wave is pretty nice.

The good old rock cliffs of Lake Powell, I'm so ready for summer!

Hi FM.
I'm buying a 2019 Max and want to add bags. Did you piggyback on to the rear bags? I'm told there are no extra ports on the rear factory bags. Thanks for the help!

I piggybacked the side bags using upgraded WakeMAKERS 1280 rear bags that have a front port.

Haha. It was your thread that inspired me to convert straight from the showroom. OK got it. I've already priced the new bags. Would you have done anything differently in hindsight?
Thanks!

IMO the Max really benefits from the addition weight. If there were bigger (taller) bags for the lockers I would have them. I still find that I like the wave with some added lead under the locker bags as well.

I did end up running the hose in a loop under the bag to keep the pressure off the bag fittings. The factory hoses did not line up perfectly for me and cause too much pressure on the fittings.

I also added some “L” shaped aluminum under the engine divider channel to keep the panels from popping out of the bottom track.

Curious if anyone with a Max has tried these bags?

Do these bags still require a hole through the bulkhead for a connecting hose so the bottom portion of the front can drain?

I see in the other Max Bag replacement thread a fella has a pair of them sitting in his garage. My assumption is that there will be a hose connection with fittings. I believe all the new 2019 Max's come with a hole through the bulkhead already.

Hi Boone,
How much room is above the full 1280 bags. I have the factory trays in my rear lockers and wonder if the 1280's will hit the bottom of the trays. Also is there any room in your side lockers with full 800's?
Thanks, Frank

My best guess is the 1280s leave 18 -20 inches when full. I do not have the locker trays to know how they work together.

The 800s take up almost all of the under seat space.
