We have an extra Fly High sac that we use when it's just our family on the boat. It's about the weight of two stout adults. While we get a really nice wave without it, its extra 400 pounds just makes it that much better!
At the end of our last session, I was draining that sac using Fly High's standard Tsunami-based pump and hose when I found that the W730 fitting they provide had stripped out the threads of the sac fitting. No problem, I thought, I'll just swap it with the air purging plug on the other end.
Nope! Turns out the W730's male threads are ever so slightly larger in diameter than their other plugs.
While the W730 will still engage the sac's threads, the other plugs just slip in and out with no resistance at all. I believe once the W730 has been used in a given sac fitting, that fitting will be "loose" for anything else. Thus I don't have the option of moving the W730 around. I'm going to hard-glue the W730 in the fitting it damaged to keep things working.
If you use any "extra" sacs, keep an eye on those W730's!
