Flo-Rite connectors on XL ballast bags?

Yep I see that now. I had a void between the panel and the side of the boat on either side that made it clean and easy to run the drain/fill hose to. I will have to play with it but i think I can just wrap the hose around the bottom of that panel and with the angled fitting it should sit exactly where that hose is coming through the hole. Maybe even a hose clamp to hold it in place. Should still give it a bit of play to in case there is movement. If that doesn't look right ill just drill a hole like you have done here and get a straight fitting.

To me know matter how you do it there still seems like there are opportunities for a full bag to put stress on the fitting.

Forgot to mention that running the hose this way on this side would be easy where as the other side with 2 batteries is never gonna happen. So I ran the hoses along the side so it would look the same on bot sides. I'm a bit OCD and I like things that are in pairs to be the same.

I cant recall a failure on any installs done here in the shop or any of the dozen or so plumbing kits I ship out a year. Maybe one or two W741's that the red locking collar cracked but a catastrophic failure of a fitting or hose.

How about 2 aerator drain pumps on the battery side?

I'm impressed. Gives me some ideas that just might work. Thanks Mike
