Can I just install a 90 degree elbow to fix the kink in the hose? I don't want to start re-routing hoses, etc since it works flawlessly beside the kink.

Mine are both kinking too. I was thinking about the same thing, anyone done it?

An elbow shouldn't restrict the flow as much as a kink so I think it would be an improvement. I plan to drill a hole through the floor and run the hose straight up from the drain pump and use a Flow Rite Qwik-lok elbow so I can get the bag further back.

wish I was at home and I would take a pic of what I did. Until I have a chance to post a pic- remove the 2 or 3 screws holding down the top plate in the back of the locker, rotate the drain hose 180 degrees, put your plate back in place to see where you need to notch the cover, cut out the notch and remove sharp edges, cut hose and install flow-rite connector 1/2- 1" above the plate.

on the front of the rear bags I just installed a 90 degree fitting and cut the hose to line up with the fitting on the bag.

bags are able to go all the way to the back of the locker, no kinks, drains perfect. the last bit of water will run out the front drain due to the elevated rear cover.

I also rerouted the front arrow bag vent hose because it wasn't letting the bag fill all the way because the new 1 1/8 hose doesn't flex easily. ill post pics when I have a chance its difficult to explain

Here's what I did so you can slide these is to the very back and will eliminate the kinking

the rear of mine basically looks like AJ's with one exception. Is that two 90 degree flow-rite fittings jammed together? maybe it just looks like it, that's all I would question.

Yes it's two 90 degree elbow fittings together. The hose is to short and stiff to make a smooth curve like the 3/4" line could. So to avoid kinking I used two elbows. I did silicon the elbows together as I see no reason to ever have to take them apart. Draining is not an issue with the two 90's together, it drains very fast since there's 2 drain lines in each hard tank in the rear.
