Is there anything wrong with comming off the pump, then put a Y in and go to two separate sacs? And vent each sac separately.
Other than it will take twice as long to fill and drain.

They might not fill at the same rate. I have one pump for 2 sacs, but there is a selector ball valve in the line where it Ts like this one

Bobwire, I was just talking to the guys at Wakemakers.com last week, and they said it's ok. I'm setting up part of my system exactly that way, with a 750lb bag in the rear port locker, and a 300lb tube sac under the port seats. There will be a Jabsco feeding both bags individually through a Y connector, and on the vent side, each bag will have it's own vent line that T's into a single thru-hull.

My original plan was to have the Jabsco feed into one bag, and then have a line from that bag, to bag #2, but they shot that down pretty quick - too much pressure on the first bag and upstream components. Smile

Anyway, at ~13 gallons per hour, I'm hoping the fill rate will work out ok, but if not, I'll just add another pump later and isolate the bags.

LOL, ummm, yeah, I guess that was supposed to be "per minute". Embarassed
Anyway, it takes ~11 minutes to fill or both bags, which is good enough that I'm not looking into adding another pump.
