Take a look. I installed an access hatch in the bow. Makes it a lot easier dealing with bags and pumps.

I've had this installed for two seasons and it's working great.
Main reason I did this was due to obvious access issues. The bags Tige installs up front are honestly not a great fit. I constantly had bags overlapping each other thus filling and draining properly is a huge issue.
My next step was to update the bow ballast configuration. I purchased a used https://www.wakemakers.com/fly-high-...d-bow-sac.html and it worked pretty good, but was too small and the one fill/vent port on top pinches when the bag full.
My next purchase is going to be a customized version of the https://www.wakemakers.com/fly-high-...y-bow-sac.html I plan to have one built with the fill/vent/drain port installed on the vertical walls vs. the top or bottom.
When it's all said and done I'll have two fill, two drain and two vent ports in a single 900lb to 1000lb bag in the bow. All port will have quick connect fittings.
Hope this helps anyone looking for a similar solution. Happy to answer any questions or take suggestions.
