What are you connecting them to? Or are you just burping them with the quick connect?

Nice, I have a pair of Sumo 540s that I used on my 2013, but the wife isn't a fan of climbing over them so I just bought 800 lbs of steel bags from pop-products.com that I split with a few buddies. The plan is to load up the bow with several hundred pounds of steel under the bow bag. Hopefully that does the trick or I'll have to put up with some bitchin. Because we all know in the end, we're going use all the bags/weight we have in an attempt to produce the best wave.

And if I get the WakeMakers 825s, I can always throw a few steel bags in with them. I do like the idea of larger ports with faster fill/drain times. That's probably worth the extra cash imho.

I was able to surf behind our new T23 this weekend. I put the Wakemaker 825s in rear & 400 bow bag in. The only snag I ran into plumbing, was the rear vent hoses. The 2017s have a smaller vent hose, looks like 3/4". I didn't have a screw in fitting for bag to attach vent, so I just had to burp them. Other than that, I love the setup. Surf wave is great. As good or I think better than my friends 2016 LSV. I like the Wakemaker bags, they fit just right.

Wakemakers sells a vent kit for their custom bags. It has everything you need to install it, including that hose fitting to go to the 3/4". It doesn't take much to install them except it took some hand strength to get the factory corrugated hose over the Y fittings. If you do ended up getting their vent kit, I would suggest getting a zip tie to hold the vent line up by the check valve. So it doesn't snag on anything when you throw your gear on top of the bags.
