I leave me 92 Ski Nautique in water all summer. I have 3 or 4 fat sacs filled up, and it is a pain to fill and empty them every time I go out, especially if it's only for an hour or two. Is it safe to leave them filled up all summer, or will it damage the floor boards of the boat or anything else? I have two fat sac seats that go on either side of the motor, and one or two sacs that go in the back of the boat. Any advice would be great. Thanks.

RE: Advice on leaving fat sacs full in boat.
I leave the sacs filled in my 2006 210 all summer and have no problems. I do, however, fill them with tap water from my garden hose instead of lake water. Don't know if it matters but I would rather have clean water in them for that long. -

The only thing I can think of is that you could get some growth in the tank (bacteria, algae etc).Comment

Ok. They aren't built in, or in the hull, I leave them on the carpet on the floor of my boat. Does that make a difference?Comment

Since you have a 92, you still have wood in the boat. If it were me I would be concerned about it not drying out.Comment

Ok, that's what I was worried about. I thought I have wood in there. Any suggestions on how to keep it dry if sacs stay filled?Comment

If thats a concern you could go to an RV store and get some tablets for stabilizing the water, or do what I do in my motorhome and drop in a 1/2 cup of bleach everytime I fill up the holding tank.Originally posted by ffmedic74Comment

I think the main concern here is the floor. I don't want to damage the surroundings of the fat sacs by getting them damp, or by preventing air from getting in.Comment
