Alternative to water bed fitting!?

Purchased some fat sacks with the standard blue water bed fittings. Is there some type of quick disconnect that can screw into the fitting where the blue connector goes?

I used a peice of hose that was just a bit bigger then the internal diameter of the sac and then used a garden hose fitting, those things are in there so tight they will never come out. Hope that helps

Hey Doug,

I thought I had the link...there's a sac company that has a fairly complete line of quick connects for their sacs, I just can't remember who. Anyone recall?

As an alternative, I've heard of folks cutting in their own thru hull fittings using 3-M 5200. I've not tried it but I may get the chance this spring. Once the thru hull is installed in the sac, you can just hose-clamp a hose directly...sounds like a plan...
