I run 1100's in the rear and both the 950 and center tank full. This is with just 2 people in the boat, w/ wedge on the goofy side. AJ is going to let me borrow one of his 400s (i think) for the surf-side bow to see if it give's it a little more "booty".

I reinforced the plastic engine guards with railing.

I also reversed the fill process to hard tank then 1100s.

Alex... did you have to add anything to make your setup fill hard tanks first?

A lot of Axis owners fill their hard tanks first, I think you have enough hose in your stock configuration to change it to tank first, if not, it wont cost much to get some more hose.

One thing you will have to add are shut off valves, 1 for each rear locker somewhere on your tank drain line between your drain pump and thru hole. here is the link to put in electronic ball valves (you can do manual valves if you want, but this is the way to go)

I used shelve rails from lowes (in the gladiator garage organizational section). 1 rail per panel.

The rails go on the side that faces the engine. Leave 3/4" gap on the top and bottom for proper fit. I also reinforced the bottom channel with few extra screws.



I got the idea from the morrisdl; however, I ran three rails instead of just two and used 4 bolts per rib. The 1100s really put some weight on the divider. Even though you install the rails facing the engine, I recommend you either use carrage bolts (which is what I used) or have some duct tape handy to protect your sac from damage by rubbing on the bolts.
