I have a 2013 a22 that i just bought. I think it has 750# bags in the rear. The dealer told me they were barefoot international 750. Where the bottom of the bag screws into the fitting that I believe goes to the hard tank. Twice it has come out of the bag where it threads in. Is this a common problem and is there a fix to it. I'm already thinking of getting bigger bags for the rear to try to get the surf wake right anyway, but in the mean time I would like to know if this is happening with any of the other PnP systems?

I put Velcro on the bags of mine then on the floor of the locker. Then the bag can't slide back and pop the screw out of the bag. So far it has worked good

you can loop the hose and give it some slack. That happens when the bags slide.

Ok thanks I will try the Velcro. There is not very much slack in the hose only about 3 inches sticks out of the floor. Is there more hose down in the floor? i did not pull on it very hard.

Could you put down some of that stuff under the bags that people put under rugs on hardwood floors to keep the rugs from sliding? Just a thought?

you can splice the hose if you want or look at replacing it. Not sure if there is extra under the floor. Follow it and see if you can find the connection point. But it is the slide. If you can keep the bag from moving that will solve the problem. If you are going to go with 900s then you might not have any slide depending on how they fit.

Is the fitting coming un-screwed out / or plug/n/play connector coming off? I have same boat, after talking to Wake Board pro and shop guy - I was told to use better cement glue on connectors - and I changed my rear locker bag to 1100 SumoSac. I then plumbed in it bypassing the clip on connectors. They are cool for moving bag around but a pain to mess with. I had same issues prior to and dumped a 750 gallon bag in rear locker.

Thanks. One side the connector came out of the hose where the hose clamp clamps it. I just put it back together and tighten up good. The other side the male threaded part keeps coming out of the female threads in the bag. I thought about gluing it in cause I could still just undo the quick connect part to get the bag out if I needed to. I was thinking about the 1100 sacs. I wonder if you could build a box out of some stainless 1/8" metal the same dimensions as the bag when full, with an open top and some feet to keep it about 3 or 4 inches of the floor so the hose connection would not be in a bind?
