Well, I did it. i removed the tanks last night and wondered why I waited so long. It literally only took a couple of hours. No issues at all and it was easy especially with Walters tip on the 2x4. The tanks are now in the garbage. Nothing wrong with them, just didn't want to store them in my house because Im pretty sure they will never make their way back into the boat
Im not sure if Im getting my bags totally full though. This maybe due to a false exceptions on how hard the bags should feel. My vent line is right there so I may try to use the anti siphon adapter to see if that allows me to fill the bags more before they start to overflow.
The space gained is great! I will probably get some Lead Wake bags to throw on the floor to compensate for potential weight lost from removing the tanks. These however should not eliminate the space gained.
I have the stock Piranha 800 with 3/4 hose. Fill time is about 12min. Im considering upgrading the fill pumps only to the 1100 to see if that helps. First I need to look and see how hard it would be to replace the 3/4 hose with 1 1/8.
At any rate, thank you to all on here that did this first!
It's not that hard to upgrade the fill hose and pump. The pumps are next the V-Drive. To get easy access to everything, just remove the carpeted panel in the compartment. There's 2 black screws on top and one screw on the bottom, then you get easy access to route all hoses.
