Boat Stuff 212x ballast bags

[nate kennedy]

replaced Factory 2015 212x ballast bags. If interested shoot me an offer on the stock bags.

What did you replace them with? Yeah I know this is 2 years old. LOL! My stock ones are old and in need of replacing. The outer covers are dry rotted.

I took off the blue waterbed fittings and got the quick connects from wake makers and fly high fat sacs no more leaks

What bags did you go with? Seems the factory ones are $200 a piece at a minimum, and they seem like they were ok back when they were in good condition.

I think I still have the original ones up in the attic...I ended up putting 400# fat sacs on each side

So you went with these ones? Amazon.com : Fly High Pro X Series V-Drive Sacs, Pair - 16" X 16" X 42", 400 Lbs. Each Blue : Boat Plumbing Items : Sports & Outdoors

Those are quite a bit cheaper than the stock ones, even after buying the quick connects to make these work.

Yes I got those then you need some plugs and the quick connect fittings. I’ve had zero issues with mine since doing that... almost immediately as my stock bags/fittings leaked badly

I've sealed the crap out of my fittings, but also took off the waterbed fittings and added a legit hose clamp, with 3m 4200, then wrapped the clamp with thick flex seal tape. Just by outer bags are dry rotted to hell, so need to replace these at some point. Do you have your bags in there sideways so the fill fitting is facing the pump/engines, or on top like the pics show?

The ones you see on top are actually vents... on the square side there is another port for filling... at least on mine there is

Ahhhhhh, awesome! Well thanks for the help. I'll add that to my off season to do list. My little one is still a bit too young to be into any wake type sports, so I've got some time.

No problem we’re all here to help! I’ve asked plenty of questions myself!
