You have a hose running from the quick disconnect on the third vent in the bag to the "Y" fitting installed as close as possible to the through hull drain fitting, all of which are barbed so why do you need the double barbed fitting? Attached is a drawing of what I think it should look like. Thanks for the info.

Tay,

"You will need a couple 3/4" double male barbed fittings to attach the no-kink bilge line to the existing stock drain lines. I would cut it just behind or near the sidewall and re-run the no-kink from this point. The 3/4" double male barbed fittings are available at Lowes, wakemakers did not sell them."

If you are completely re-routing new lines this is not necessary. I had problems with the stock drain lines actually kinking up from the weight of the bags, the ribbed hose wakemakers sells is much stronger and will not kink up.

Hope this answers your questions, your drawing looks good. If you have any more questions please ask.
