I can't find mine, I must have left them in my old boat when I traded it in. Does anyone know where I can get four? Or what is a good substitute?

Anywhere you can buy waterbeds at, they use the same caps. You might also try pool stores. They use similar bags for holding down pool covers in the winter.

My buddy used a miller lite long neck bottle. Hejust shoved it in until it stuck. We did it in a hurry a couple years ago and I think he still uses it. Adds a touch of class to the boat.

We've used anything we can find that'll plug the holes. Screwdrivers, waterbottle caps, sunscreen bottles flipped upside down - just be creative!

The threads are the same size as a 3/4" garden hose, so you can also pick up ball valves at the local hardware store. I actually replaced the caps and screw-on connections with quick connects on my pumps and sacs, they are much easier to deal with now.

I use rubber plugs where I've lost the original caps. I prefer them because they are a quick pull off and stick in (inuendo). I picked up a few at a hardware store for pennies.

If you can't duct it, f$%& it. But seriously they sell camping matresses at wal-mart for as cheap as $10 I think. The plug and cap on those are identical to the ones on fat sacs. I use to fill up a waterbed matress in my old I/O for ballast. It was cheap and you can put a lot more water in them.
