    I have the arrow sack. I don't think it completely fills in the arrow portion, so you're getting mostly the same weight you'd get from a straight tube sack. Either way, keeping the sack in the belly looks like a better solution to me than losing the storage under the bow seats. I run the arrow sack plus 100 pounds of lead in the bow. Based on a few quick measurements, I figure that adds about 350lbs...which I don't think is much different than what you'll add with the under-seat sack if you're realistic about how full that sack will actually get.

      HS: I have not made the changes yet and the boat is at our house for the winter. Although I may have to make a cold water run to play with my new setup. The wife hooked me up with a new Ronix One board and boots for Christmas. In the words of Bart Scott, "Can't Wait"

        How are you guys hooking up the sacs? I can not find where to unhook the overflow from my center tank. I know there is a removable panel on the drivers side under the front seat, but no luck for me yet. I am going to plumb an integrated bow sac into my 210 once I get this figured out. Pictures would be nice as well if available.

        Thanks in advance.

          Just a suggestion. Instead of accessing the overflow line from the tank, try to access it from the other end at the thru hull. That's what I did on my 211 was go to the thru hull and take the line from there and use it as the fill line to the fat sac. Get to it by reaching up under the dash of the helm, you will see 2 thru hulls with lines: one is connected to your bilge pump (do not remove this one!) and the other line (the larger one in my case) goes to the belly tank. Verify you have the right hose.

          Then, just run the "old" overflow line to the fill port on the sac (use the low point on the sac, not the one located on the top.) then you need a new length of hose and a clamp to run from the overflow port on the top of the sac to the thru hull.

          The parts and pieces are available at wakemakers, and they are extremely helpful on walking customers through the install process.
