Finally got our new boat out

[BlackoutATX]

I think if I understand what you are saying the drain fitting on your boat is an inch or two above the bottom of the sack, so it never quite empties that last little bit.

The drain hose SHOULD be on the bottom rear of the sack. If it is on the top of the sack, then I would be surprised if it drains at all.

If your drain hose is coming off of the top of the sack, then I consider that a problem. Aerator pumps like these have their advantages and disadvantages. One disadvantage is that they can never get every last drop out, and create a suction like an impeller style pump can do. 20 pounds of water in the sack is not a big deal compared to your 5,000 pound boat. Unless I were transporting it to another state where an inspection is going to happen, or winterizing, I would not worry.

Tige didn't put quick connects on the sack from the factory?

No the drain fitting is on the bottom of the sac. Think drain in a bathtub. But the fitting itself being on the bottom and not on the bottom of a side wall creates a raised area in the bottom of the sac where the fitting is pressing up from beneath. It's not a huge deal. Just a poor design for maximum drainage. It should be as low as it can go on the side wall of the sac. Also no quick disconnects. They are welded in at the factory. So bags can't be completely removed. I really hope they fix both these issues in the future.

No quick connect
