          I'm going to run my 1/4 tubing with quick connects so I can remove the sacs when needed. I will just drill the quick connects and then attach them to the sac fitting then attach the tubing to that

              tdc_worm...great idea....and thanks for the photo, swankster.

              I took the path of least resistance and used a bungie cord wrapped around the vent line at the rear of the sack to keep the rear pulled up so the bag never gets sucked flat (which then prevents the hard tank from venting and will collapse the hard tank on the drain cycle). I haven't had a problem with this set up for two years after bending two sender units in 12 months (and having a couple of close calls).

              But tdc_worm's solution is MUCH better. ( 1 ) It gets rid of the white-trash-looking bungie, and ( 2 ) it lets me vent entirely from the front of the fat sac so I don't have a vent line visible across the top of the sac (right now I vent from both the front and rear of the sacs).

                      Surf wave? On my lake I know a guy that runs 750 over top of stock in back corner and a 1k in the nose and loves his wave. Pulls 3's all day long on it.
