Does anyone have pictures of how this done on the newer boats? The How-to I found on here by Walter looks nothing like the 2014 PNP system.
Thanks for your time!

It's just a matter of connecting the 2 lines in the bottom of your rear locker to the 2 drain ports of the bottom of the sack. Then the line with the valve on the little carpeted wall connects to the top of the sack. You will need the proper fittings for the sack to connect to the factory limbed PnP lines is all. The only thing you need to plumb yourself and decide on what method you want is a vent line to drain the air out of the sack when it fills. Some experience a lot of air when filling, others experience little air. Depending on what sacks you have will determine if you might need to modify the rear drain line.

I'm actually having trouble with the front bag. There is no PNP hoses up front like in the back, there are hoses but are already connected. Sorry, I should have specified, but I really thought Axis would have supplied a instruction sheet/booklet on how to install using their PNP system. So, if anyone has a picture or some info on how to hook up the front Arrow style bag it would be extremely appreciated.
Thanks!

I just came back from dealer, one of the reps I talked to who advised they worked with designer on the fat sac plug and play system advised me a couple things. There are (2) drains in rear locker, the from drain is gravity only, the rear one is pump assist. The initial thought was the gravity one was to assist the other in draining faster. He advised it does not work and air locks happen. Only hook up rear drain on fat sacs in rear cabs.

That would be the last time I listened to that particular tech because both drains assist in draining. No one I know with a dual drain version of the PnP system has an airlock issue to include myself. I can drain my Sumo 900's quickly.

So I found an illustration that shows how to setup the front bag and the 2014's are still like this. Basically, disconnect the 3 hoses from the wye (Y) fitting and connect as illustrated, cut out extra hose and save it as you do not need it for the rear lockers on the 2014's and in regards to the 2014 rear lockers, the hoses need to be cut down to proper length as well for the best fit and placement (to long for the FLYHIGH 400lb bags). I found that the rear lockers need 2 straight connectors (W741) for the drain tubes, and a 90* elbow (W746) for the fill on the top of the bag. The front arrow bag needs two 90* elbows (W746) (Fill &vent) and a W741 straight connector for the drain. Rear bag install is very straight forward, there are 2 drain tubes (one at each end of the locker) and the fill tube is the one with the ball valve attached to it. Use the 2 W741 on the drains and connect, and use the W746 90* elbow for the fill tube and connect. Very easy.

NOTE: If you have an older model with 3/4" lines, use the fittings in the illustration. If you have a 2013/2014 with 1-1/8" hoses then use the fitting I have listed below for you. The kits from Wakemakers (which I ordered) did not have all the right fittings. It had to many W746 elbows and not enough W741 connectors and a crap load of W743 that I didn't need which is why I have listed exactly what you do need below!

Items Required for a 2014 PNP Front and Rear install (3 Bags Total):

4x W746 (90* Elbow Connector)
5x W741 (Straight Connector)
9x W743 (1" Screw-in connector for the bags) NOT NEEDED FOR FLYHIGH BAGS as the come with these already cemented in!!!
1 Tube of Marine Silicone

Install time: 30-45 mins

NOTE: If you want to Vent the rear bags you will need two extra W746 90* Elbows, 8 SS hose clamps, and two 1-1/8" Tee or Wye Nylon or PVC fittings and some extra 1-1/8" hose to tap into the rear hard tanks vent tube.

Really hope this helps anyone wondering how to do the install on a 2014 Axis PNP system.
Sincerely,
Mulisha911
