I've got an MB Sports 220v with 2 800 lb hard tanks, each with their own pump.

How can I plumb additional sacs throughout the boat using the existing pumps and through hull intakes and exits. Specifically, bow sacs (hopefully under the seats) and an Enzo surf sac in the locker/under port bench.

This post was supposed to be in DIY, please move it.

Anyone have this sac?

Is that supposed to fit under the bow seats? Or on top?

that sac goes over the bow seats. i don't know of any that would go under the seats. but couldn't you add a T somewhere along the hose leading to the existing sacs and then run some to the place where you want to add new ones. it will make the pump work harder as well and longer for all the sacs to fill.

Rhawn, there's a few threads on this in the DIY section that are maybe helpful. It's likely you already saw them though.

That integrated is actually for under the seats.. If you do not have enough space under then you are not going to get full use of the bag. This bow sac is for the top:

If you need a custom size bow sac you can get them built for your exact specs.

Are there any specs on that integrated bag Ed? Dimensions, water weight.

I've got the big triangle bow sac you linked, kills the whole bow though, obviously.
