Axis Wakeboard Boat Forum

At the lake and have zero instructions From our bag purchase from wake makers. Could anybody please walk me through the bow bag triangle install and what hoses go where? The boat is a 2016 axis t23. Also any help with the rear bags would be appreciated. It seemed like the hoses for the bow bag were not long enough and I could not figure out where the vent like went. Any help would be appreciated we are stuck trying to install these things on a beautiful South Dakota weekend which is rare. This is our first wakeboard boat.

PM sent with my phone number. Call me.

It's pretty straightforward once you find the hoses. Match bag to hoses. They may be tucked up a bit. I think you can even mix them up a bit and have things still work out okay.

We have a '16 t23. From the factory the vent line was only 16" long. Wakemakers said that Malibu often cuts the hoses too short or way too long. My dealer extended the line at no charge. However it leaked, so I am working on getting a fitting that works and do it myself. Other than that, there is a wye and has the fill, drain and Vent connected to it. Pretty easy install.

Thanks for the reply, I am pretty sure my rear lines are too short. There are only two connections I am assuming the drain in the far back of the lockers which is fixed and the fill coming off the hard tanks which is around 8 inches long which has no slack, there is no way my bags can reach both to connect, both connections are on the floor. They are the wake makers custom 1100 pound bags if that matters.

Both of those lines in the rear are considered fill/drain lines. When the hard tank's are full they continue to fill the sacks via those two lines. When you start to dump the hard tank's the sacks will drain via those two lines back into the hard tanks. Axis does this for faster fill/drain times. Not sure on the T23 but on my 2016 A20 there is 50" between those connection points. I run custom wakemakers 550 bags that are 50x20x15 for a perfect fit. What are the lengths of your rear bags vs the length between your rear connection points?

Something doesn't sound right. Your setup is identical to what I have. My sacs are 50" long and the front bottom and rear bottom is what it connects to the hard tank with. My front hose is likely 8" as well.

Link the sac you bought from wakemakers. I just looked at all their bags and they are all 50" long bags that are 1100lbs. Or give me a call.

There appears to be no standard lengths on the ballast lines from the factory. I went through an identical boat at the dealer and had one o the guys walk me through the plug n play installation. It seemed pretty simple. Got home and my lines were quite a bit shorter than the ones that I had looked at earlier.

I had to extend both of my ballast lines that go from the shutoff valve to the top of the bag. Sumo 900's. When topped off it pops off the connection. I had some leftover ballast hose from my old boat when I added dedicated fill and drain pumps for each bag in the rear.

Thanks for the replys guys my bags do not measure 50" across so I am not sure if I have the right bags, all I have are the item numbers #15764 and #14732. Back when I ordered in December on the wakemakers site they were listed as a ballast upgrade for the plug and play system, now I cannot find the identical item to purchase.
