Does anyone know which hole on each side of the boat is the vent? If I remember correctly, I think it is the rear hole on each side. Can someone verify this?

I'm not sure what boat u have but my t22 it's the front

You can find out by following the lines back to the loop, whichever one goes to the loop on the wall is the vent i believe

Dezul, you better just trace your own lines. With everything hand built, I would bet it varies from boat to boat. I see enough on here about differences in the ballast lines that I just wouldn't trust anyone else's answer to be automatically true for my boat

I think you are right. That is what I planned to do. I am 92% sure my vents are located on the rear holes. I remember looking at it either last week or the week before but I was drinking beer at the time so I lose that 8% credibility. I plan to install the vents sometime this week. I have the next week and a half off of work and I plan to get those honey-doos done that I have been putting off.

Can someone post a pic of how theirs is hooked up ? My hoses are kinking and I'm not sure how this set up is supposed to look... Or how the extra drain hose should look it seems like I am going to have to cut a lot off...

^x2. Pics would be great. I would also like to add vent lines to the rear bags. "Burping" them gets old..

I finally completed this task this morning. It took me about an hour or so. Some of that time was used investigating the hoses. I did exactly what Kingranch said above. I "T"ed off of the hose coming from the stock ballast tanks going to the anti-siphon loops. Each side will have its own anti-siphon loop. It was pretty easy to get to once you remove the front engine divider.

Materials needed:
8 - stainless steel hose clamps
2 - T's
About 7' of 1 1/8" non-collapsable hose
Couple of bottles of water (stupid Tennessee humidity)
2 - quick-connect elbows
2 - screw-in connect adapters

Tools needed:
phillips head screwdriver (removes the front divider)
8mm socket (for tightening the hose clamps)
jigsaw (for quick cutting of the hose)

If anyone decides to do this and needs additional help, let me know.

I had my parts for about two months. After seeing how easy it was, I wished I would have done it sooner.

got mine done today. the port side was a little more difficult due to the gas line running through the divider area, but its all done now.

Mine didnt have any anti siphon loops on the vent lines...does it need them?
