Found it so now I can fill it using just water psi while underway.
But still thinking ill need a bilge pump to pump out.
It doesnt have a bottom / gravity drain.

Thanks all.

just curious if you figured out a way to go with your tank. Also any of you other guys with 500+ hp adding weight to the front of your 24, ballast or lead. JAime

Nothing yet. Ill most likely be going with a sm pickup coming off the tab to fill it using psi. Bilge pump to dump.

c_deezy 06-22-2012 07:14 AM

Just curious what the final solution was/is going to be?

Would water pressure alone force water out of a bilge pump outlet, past the bilge pump once the tank filled up? Or would you need a seperate overflow? You would need a breather hose anyhow, so I suppose the breather would double as the overflow....
