Auto vent setup ‘17 23LSV

Recommended Posts

I just added the Wakemakers 770 kit and my boat is equipped with plug and play but not the auto vent system. Any body have suggestions to add it. I can’t find the kit on the Wakemakers site.

really not much of a kit, hose, quick connect, t for thru hull opening to  allow for sac bottom over flow hose snd top vent hose being installed to share the thru hull, or drill a dedicated thru hull snd buy that fixture

I was wondering same thing for my PNPs so I don’t have to bleed off the air with the plug. Anyone do this by tapping into the existing vent hose for the hard tanks?  Couldn’t you put in a “Y” connector and use the existing through hull?

I called them and they were able to give me the part number.

I added a "Y" connector to the hard tank vent hose.  Works great!  Speed of filling seems better and more uniform right & left.  Having quick connects on all 3 connections of each keep it easy to pull the bags for engine servicing or storage.  Also have 3 plugs for each side so no issue if I want to fill the hard tanks whilst the bags are out.

Did you add the check valve or just ran hoses to the Y connector.  I have all the parts except check valve and going to hook them up this week and see how it goes.

added the valve. Found out I needed to install the check valves up higher. I installed them next to the tank instead of the short hose to the vent. All good now.

I would love to but can't figure out how to add the pictures from my camara roll on my phone or computer.

I am happy to email them to you.

Welcome. To post photo's there are basically two ways. You can subscribe here to allow that access, or use a 3rd party gallery place like imgur and post a link to that from here.

Any luck on getting some of those photos posted?  
 

I’m in the same boat, so to speak, with not having vent lines. Curious to see what y’all have installed and how to go about it. 
 

Definitely want to set it up with quick disconnect ends.

Simple install?  

Yes, just tap into the existing ballast drains/vents on each side of the boat.
