Is it safe?

Is it safe to put ballsat bags on top of my factory wedge tanks?

RE: Is it safe?

I fill a fat sac back there on an 06 for surfing - they even make a v-drive sac just for the Nautiques
Now - is it safe? I have yet to have an issue, maybe someone will post a different experience.

i would be more worried about a rope getting wrapped around a finger surfing than I would the fat sacs. If people are falling tell them to throw the rope. if not this may happen.

Good advice. What type of rope were you using?

[rbalan]

Aircraft cable?

[wakecrashin]

rope off of a flying tube, thicker than ski rope, with neoprene balls to hang on to. worked awesome until this happened. if you fall and the boat keeps moving and any rope is cinched around a body part, it will take it off.

Ouch dude.

I use a fat Masterline rope only. And a trick release.

[Kevin_B]

wow The trick release is a great idea?

[HS]

Slayer - what's the trick release?

[WakeSlayer]

I have an older version of this on my FCT. It is a line release so a spotter or driver can free you if you get tangled up. I have had one for years. No one rides without it behind my boat.

Yes, totally ok. Sorry for the hijack.

We use a fat rope, over an inch in diameter designed for surfing. I worry more about the slack getting around an ankle. Has anyone had issues with these?

Last year we were surfing behind an older MC star boat and my best friend got his wrist tooken off.
