2017 Autovent to Wakemaker bags

[Fman]

I ordered autovent with the boat so all I needed was the WM bags.  It took literally a couple mins per side to install them.  The bags are biggest hit but imo well worth it.  WM does a nice job of custom fitting them to the specific boat you order for.

@skicrave Which check valve are you including in this auto vent kit??  I have already added vent hoses (1-1/8") to my PNP bags but I am not using the check valve and think it may be a good idea to add the checks.

I'm adding to this thread and new to the forum.  Just purchased a 2017 LSV23 from Weldon Marine in Peoria IL and will likely pick it up in a few weeks if we get good weather.  I'm planning to add plug n play ballast and can't tell if I need the vent kit from wavemakers or if my boat has the vented option.  Is there a way to tell if the option is already installed?  - Thank you

The vent hose should be laying in the locker. It runs up under the gunnel to a one way valve.

If the boat has plug n play with the vent there will be three hose connections per locker. If it just has plug n play plumbing there will only be two at the front and rear of the locker.

Hello, I have a2017 22' VLX , I plan on ordering the rear bags for more ballast. I found where to hook up to my pnp but no venting option. Where would I find the existing vent lines to splice into? Thanks for any help

The factory vent hose connects to the thru-hull fitting under the gunnel. Start on the outside of the boat if you need help locating that fitting.
