1,100 lb bag question

[DOCDRS]

Don't know if you've ever tried this but you can position the 1100 sac in such a way that it leans out and most of the weight rest against the hull and not on the divider wall...at least in my XLV it does. I'll keep an eye on it and look for some bracing material that's easy to remove as well as function

I totally disagree with this idea, and you are kidding yourself if you think this is true. JMO nothing personal. Yes it would if the bag actually had some substance to it like a rigid container but it does NOT! The pressure of water is directly proportional to the height or column of water. no matter how you place the bag is totally irrelevant to the pressure exerted on your engine divider wall. This is plain simple physics! The greatest pressure will be at the bottom hinges and a reinforcing metal angle piece should be added between the 2 hinges as well as longer screws....at some point you may even want to thru drill your hinge screws thru your engine walls and thru bolt them as again this is where the most pressure will be.
