My front U shaped bag does not drain perfectly. I have just one pump located on the port side for drainage. My bag was built custom, before there was such a thing as a stock U-bag. It does not have a drainage port on the bottom on the other side, so I am kind of stuck with just the one drain unless I go from the top.

The question I have is, what would happen if I switched to a Simer pump just on the drain up front? Would it 'pull' more water from the other side and evacuate the sack more completely? I hate leaving 100 pounds of water up there. It is especially painful when I have to remove the sack in the garage to let it dry up there. I either have to pick up the water myself, or lift the sack so that the rest of the water flows to the pump and then spray it out all over the garage or driveway. I have that much water even after letting it sick at the ramp on a slant, or if it is flat too.

What do you think?

Pull the bag out, make a small slit in the leg, slide in plastic thru-hull (what ever size hose barb you need), put some rubber cement on the inside and out side of the hole, and snug down the thru-hull nut.

Presto, you have a drain.
