    200 sport hard tank removal

    Going to remove my hardtanks and go with a larger bag but I can't get to the boat for a couple of weeks to measure, does anyone here with a 200Sport know what the largest bag is that will fit in the lockers? I currently use 42x16x16 piggy backed to the hardtanks and I want get rid of that system, I would like to replace them with 50x20x20 but I just don't know if they will fit. Thanks in Advance

      Wakemakers is your best resource. They will even make a custom sac for you to fill every inch of that locker.

        Yes I've talked to them but they couldn't verify what bags fit. Thanks for the reply. He suggested 600 lbs bag but that would be less than factory plus my current bags so that would be worthless. I'll just have to wait until I can get down to the boat in a couple of weeks.

            Chris, he keeps his boat same place I do and is almost as far away. No big deal I can wait a few weeks I was trying to get my surf wake dialed in for you.

              I have these direct plumbed in my 200v with the hard tanks removed. Had to move the battery forward about 6" and rotate 90 degrees. Was real easy. Plenty of slack in the existing wires to move it. I moved it all the way to the seat.

                Fantastic, that's the bag I was hoping to buy. The battery move should be pretty simple. Thank you

                  Hey Lake, thanks again for this info. I got the tanks swapped out for the larger bags today and I love it. No more problems draining and the extra capacity really makes an impressive wakeboard wake for such a small boat.

                      Hey guys,

                      Sorry to bring back an old thread. I'm planning on doing this to my 2013. Do you guys have any pictures of what you did with the battery? Did you secure it? Any other suggestions prior to me getting after this?

                      Thanks for the help.

                        I ended up adding 400lb bags with quick connects to sit on top of my tanks. I plumbed the vents with a Y and added a shut-off valve for the bag vent when I'm disconnected. I then added a Y valve for the inlet. With this setup I can use my existing pump and vent for both the tanks and the bags that sit on top. I just have to manually switch the Y valve once the tanks are full to start filling the bags. I then go in reverse order when it is emptying. The advantage of this setup is that I have the convenience of just using the tanks and keeping my storage in the lockers when the extra weight is not needed.

                          Do you have pictures of that? I'm getting a bit nervous with my piggyback system and may be going the sac route if one of them cracks but if the y valve works maybe I can extend that day out some.

                          I've been giving thought to the battery situation as well. Hard to say what needs to be done there well but would love to see pictures of this too. I love the boat but there not a lot of room to move things around and I've never been able to come up with a design for the dual battery set up that made sense to me.

                            I don't have pictures, but this is the valve I'm referring to. The folks at Wakemakers can set you up with everything you need.
