Adding fat sacs on top of factory hard tanks

It all works great!! Luckily the vent line worked out and that was the biggest change from the original picture to the last one I posted.

I have a 2007 X2 with the fly highs plumbed in the vents for the hard tanks. I NEVER have any draining problems. Only the KGB needs the boat to be moving to empty the hard tank. BOW needs to be in the air. I had to install 20 minute timers. Mine was plumbed similar to how your is originally. Nothing would ever empty correctly. Now 9 minutes to fill stock plus fly high and it works perfectly.

How hard was it to install the timers? I think I may have to do that over the winter.

Does anyone know about how to modify the timers. On my tanks, I do cycle the switches 2 or 3 time. Not a big deal, but if it is not a big deal, I would like to extend the timers a bit.

Just an FYI here - we did have luck with this setup and operation. I just have to cycle the switches 2 or three times when filling. I do have the quick disconnects for the fat sacs. As stated above if I fill everything up (3 factory and 2 fat sacks in back) it drags the back platform. We would fill the KGB and hard and fat sac on one side and had good success.

However, I think it would be even better if I could move the fat sac I'm not using up to the nose. So now I am going to look at splicing the KGB tank and adding a fat sac to the front nose storage compartment. This should help bring down my nose - keeping the ski platform higher out of the water - with more weight overall. I would speculate that my sweet spot would be REALLY big.

With the quick disconnects on the fat sacs - it should be real easy to move around the fat sacs. I can't say I'll use the fat sacs for anything else but surfing anyhow. On the X-15 I would speculate it would be easier to do on the drivers side (boat is not close by).

Regretfully, I will not be able to report on on the outcome till next year!!

Here are some pics of me installing the front fat sac.

This system works great, just have to find a balance point when we are carrying lots of passengers. Anyone else attempt to install a system?
