My bags have drain holes in both sides, but all the directions I read never mentioned using them. I order the parts to make it drain from both sides and they actually came today. I plan on testing out the bags again this weekend. I ordered a new front drain pump, but not sure if I will have the time to put it in.

Which front pump did you order? And where did you order from?

My front pump had seized up and was flipping breaker. I removed floor for easier access, took pump apart and freed it up, reconnected and it still works. I did order a replacement pump in anticipation of needing it. As far as draining or filling, I think the pumps don't prime well at times and I will start the pump for a several seconds and turn it off a few times. It usually works.

Update----- If anyone cares------ I took the boat out yesterday. Regarding the rear sacs, I ran a hose from the bottom rear port and "T" it into the bottom front port on both sides and the bags drained great. I have no complaints now. Regarding the front, I changed out the pump and its draining water perfectly now. I have to say changing the pump was way easier than everyone said. Everything is now working great.
