So if I wanted to fill only the hard tanks,
Could I fill the bag and the hard tank and then drain them until the bag is empty leaving only the hard tank full?

Just wanted to make sure I was aware of all my options. thanks

If you want to fill JUST the hard tanks do the following:

1. Close the Valve
2. Fill
3. Monitor the system until you see water coming out the side and/or water filling in the bag.
4. Stop filling

Easy as that. A few gallons of water in the PnP isn't going to make much of a difference in the wake.

Well, I guess when I go out to the boat again I'll just play with it some more. Thank you for the help.

Let us know what happens when you play with it. I'd be interested in hearing if their design actually works.

My hypothesis is that with the valve off, it will dump out the side and trickle into the bag once the hard tank fills.

Quick question. I am waiting on delivery of my Axis and my old Malibu didn't have the plug and play.

Are there three connections in the rear to attach to the sac?
Is the one with the black handle the in flow and connected to the top of the bag?
Are the other two the drains and connected to the side of the bag?

yes
yes
yes (sorta, one is for venting the bag back into the tank the other is for draining)

Does anybody have a sketch showing how the hoses are supposed to go? I hooked my rears up but would be nice to know the flow line paths. Also for the front bow sack. I haven't hooked that up yet
