Huge pain in the ass and a bitch to get them on but doable.

Didn’t find that out until I added the connections between bags a month later. Went on line to order and there was magically 1 1/8” hose available. Cursed that wakemakers salesman to hell. It all worked out, but probably took an additional 3 hours and using a blow dryer in a ballast compartment in August in Texas inside a marina dry shed was miserable. Honestly, never had I sweated so much in my life. Looking back, maybe wasn’t that safe to do alone.

Sounds like you were sweatin like a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs. I tried heating the 1" with a torch but it just melted. Maybe I will motor to the neighbors where he has power close and try with a heat gun instead.
