JasonWm,

Could you post a link for what you would recommend to take place of a manifold? I'm not quite following you.

Thanks for the heads up on the check valve. I made a conscious decision to remove that because I was simply thinking that when on plane the sac would be lower and water wouldn't rush out. But I completely forgot to take in account when the boat is just sitting at idle and the bag is higher, as well as negative pressure from water rushing past that hole. Silly...

Anything else guys? Still looking for two bags, between 200-400#'s if anyone has some or sees some for sale.
