2011 22ve ballast upgrade question

[jzts0214]

I just bought a 11 22ve with factory ballast. I want to integrate my fats sacs I have into the factory system. What is the best way to run the hoses from the hard tanks to the sacs. Anyone know what parts I will need? Thanks

Justin, I have some W736 fittings if you need them. I think those are the fittings that they use for the factory surf ballast option. I have 4 or 5 of them that you can have...for a beer or two! LOL!

This it what I'm thinking. Disconnect the vent hose of the stock ballast tank and hook that up to the fill on my fat sac. This way the factory tank will fill fist and once it is full it will start filling the bag. There is a port in on the side of the factory ballast tank that I can remove and then hook a hose to the drain on the sac. Then vent the sac from front of the bag at the top. Do you guys think this will work? My only concern is that the bag wont drain it to the tank real fast and the pump will pump out the tank faster then the bag will drain.

If there is not one from the factory, then you will probably need to install a check-valve in the fill line to prevent passive draining through the fill line when the sac if full. This is caused by the top of the filled sac being higher then then the fill plumbing.

The in-floor tank should have two plugged ports that would have been utilized for the surf/pro sac option. These could both be used to aid the gravity draining form the sac back to the tank.

Pushing water from the tank into the bottom of the sac will work, but will be slow due to head pressure.
