I left my sacs in all winter long. When I finally emptied them, the covers were moldy. There was a little bit of water underneath them on the boat carpet. I had 4 sacs in, each 250 - 2 in the nose, one on each side of the engine.

I may be wrong but I think the only thing that might go wrong is a little evaporation...if the caps aren't on tight. |

Any of you put a little bleach in the sacs to keep all bacteria dead? |

heat shouldnt bother the sacks might amke them a little softer but it shouldnt damage them. However, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can dry out the plastic and cause it to crack and become brittle over time. |

Make sure your lift is rated for that kind of weight, we broke the lift cable one day, when we hoisted a 205 up with over 2000 lbs in it. Thats a much bigger hassle than draining the sacs every time. _________________ www.midwestmastercraft.com

I left my letsgoride sacs filled and carried them on the trailer. I noticed one day i was getting a leak on one of my filler caps on one of the sacs. that sucked but i dont think it was because i left them filled. you should be okay leaving them filled but like wes said the sun will start to eventually mess them up. just like upholstery. |
