Arial Ballast Bags
I haven't heard much about these bags. I'm looking to buy a few extra bags and was wondering what people's opinions might be.
Thanks, Corbin |
They hold water pretty good.
|
I've got 4 of the 550 type. I've upgraded the fittings to barbed type with hose clamps to hold them in & 1" tube with a ball valve inline to avoid any leaks. For less than $100 a pair they're not bad value.
|
great thanks!
|
So, they're the waterbed style fittings I assume.
|
yeah they use the blue waterbed fittings
|
are water bed style fittings bad? Are there any other options if they are? I have three bags that require these fittings but haven't bought them yet. I have heard of some people just buying pipe fittings that fit inside of the inlet holes and sealing them with some marine adhesive and a hose clamp.

How do the waterbed style fittings play out in the long run? Are they a constant maintenance item that's always leaking or are they ok if you do it right?
|
The waterbed fittings work great for me. I just fill up my bags and put the cap back on and I'm good to go. Some people complain that they leak a little bit of water when inserting and removing the hose but it doesn't bother me much.. it's only a few drops!

Hmmm... guess not too many people have experience with this 'eh?
|
What would be a good pump to use with these bags? I am thinking about getting a set for my I/O. Just wondering if the 350lb bag would fit in the ski locker and give me access to both fittings on top of the bag. The opening is about 24-30 inches I beleive.

attwood tsunami 1200 with the quick connect fly high fittings
|
Will those fittings fit the aerial bags?
|
i have 4 aerial bags that i havent used yet, still trying to decide what im going to do with them. The quick connects w/ the tsunami pumps will not work with the aerial bags because the connections on the bags are male ended, unlike flyhigh bags which have female ended holes. I think im going to have to use a 1" barbed end like the above poster said and secure it with hose clamps and some tape cause these fittings are just plain weird.
