Im new to using a fat sac this year. My question is how do most of you guys drain your sacs? Do you just let it drain out thourgh your bottom of the boat?

I just reverse my pump. Only takes a few seconds...

Exactly, but just reverse it, place the end you usually put in the lake, and attach it to your sac. It will pump in reverse. I purchased an adapter usually used for a water bed, that will screw to your sac....

What you want is an aerator (sp?) not a bildge pump.
The aerator fits nicely into the fat sac hole (with the pump adaptor).

Buy yourself a pump, they are easy to convert to fat sack use. Find a water bed supply store for the fittings & then get a Rule 1100 GPH pump. Drop me a line off list if you need a hand.

Get a few guys and pick those beats up and let them drain over the side.

buy the pump. those sacs are heavy i wouldn't want to try and pick one up. the pump is easy and quick and will only break your wallet not your back
