    Fly high 1000# bow filler bag under the bow seats?

    I am thinking that I'm gonna want around 500 lbs in the bow for my ballast setup I'm going to plumb in over the winter. This is for a 1997 super sport without walk through to the bow. I am gonna be putting two 750s in the engine compartment and the 580 ski locker bag in. I know a lot of people use the bow bag with the two legs that require two pumps to completely drain. Since the bow is so open under the cushions in my 97 would one of the 1000# bags work up there? I realize it will not fill completely but ats fine because I only want half of it filled.

    I was thinking of hooking up my vent line from the locker bag into the bow bag and vent from that bag. So when the locker is filled it will overflow into the bow and when I drain the locker bag it will mostly gravity drain the bow bag. This will be an aerator system.

      A lot of people with older super sports have used the triangle bag (plumbed in) just as you are contemplating. It's not the easiest thing in the world to install, but it's doable.

        Does the vent overflow idea sound right? I just don't wanna plumb in two more pumps for the front bag. I might just try to get some lead
