Did a quick search and couldn't seem to find what i was looking for. My apologies if this has already been talked about.

I have factory plug n play.

There is three lines right now if i am correct all plumbed into a wye fitting. What goes where in reference to drain, fill and vent. I saw a thread showing to install vent loops in the storage compartment and what not. Is this necessary with the 14s. I am thinking i should just be able to cut the the lines to the correct length and put some quick connects on them. Am i right or wrong in thinking this?

Thanks!

Kirk

You assume correctly. The line closest to the front of the boat is the vent. The line with the check valve is the fill. The last line is the drain. I used a jigsaw to cut the lines to length. Use whatever you find you are most skilled with.

Ya the vent loop is what I used on my 2010 because it didn't come with a check valve, I think 2012 and up had the check valve

Which bags did you end up getting? I'm interested in drain and fill times of the entire system, post which manufacturer, model and size bags you used; The new Fly High bags made specifically for the Axis 2014s have larger ports and fittings and the pump is an 1100gph. The FH bags are now competitive in times with the Sumos plus the ports are in the correct locations.

My dealer ordered the fly high bags, all 1 1/8 fittings clearly. I have more fittings and hose on order to set it up like a few others on this forum(dezul i believe). I am going to take advantage of both rear and front drain ports to speed up drain times. I am also going to loose the air vent knob and plumb it directly into the vent line for the hardtack, this way i don't have to keep looking into the storage compartment to see if its full. That or forget to close the vent and start putting water into the boat. i believe you are right with the size of pumps as well. I am thinking it should be quite a bit faster than our vlx with all 3/4 fittings. We are using the 950 bow sac and rear 750's.
