hi guys, I have flyhigh 750's for my 2015 A22. put them in 2 wks ago did not trim hoses. today I pulled one out and am going to trim the hoses so the ends of the hoses are about 50" apart which is the length of the 750, 900 and 1100 bags. I looked at AJ West's modification and it looks like it will probably work. I know you are all saying it will work, but I like to overthink it for myself, I am a civil engineer. I was thinking about keeping the end of the sack away from the transom to avoid the transom tie ubolt heads. however if you do that then the bag will be pushed too far front and will be under the rear seatback bulkhead. there is only about 12 inches of vert clearance under there. sooooo...I am thinking I will do this the AJ West way, with rear drain all the way back has he has shown in his thread. and will make a cover to put over the bolt heads so they wont puncture the bag. also you are using silicone on the quick disconnect to quick disconnect fittings? or just where you have to hose clamps. thanks for your help, cant figure out how to upload pics

Am going to do this, however I will make something to cover the bolt heads...so are you using silicone on the quick disconnect side of the fittings?

I did it the same way but spent 12 dollars on 90's from Wake Makers... now no worries at all.

Bolts will not puncture bags... put electrical tape around them if you are worried.

okay, I got it. did it the way AJWest did (thanks AJWest, great mod) except that I did not reinstall the straight fitting after I trimmed the hose. also, on the 2015 A22 the hole trimmed length is about 4-5" long. with it being so short, I eliminated the straight fitting and went to the 90 elbow. a also taped the transom bolts. see pics below. i wanted to add a few more pics but cant. never had to jump thru so many hoops to add pics to a forum thread.

Glad my own mod is helping. Pretty simple. Thanks for the pics for the 2015 boats.

I figured you would like it, AJWest. That makes the distance between the hose ends now about 50" +/-. Hoping to have the bags filled on friday...

Went out on the water yesterday and filled the rears, worked perfect. will take pics next time. the 750's filled the lockers nicely. also installed the 950 bow sac , used 90 elbows on the front hookups. it filled perfectly, it appears to have filled completely but dont know for sure. I will get pics next time out.
