2001 X-Star Ballast Installation

Tsumi, thanks for posting this. Last year I put 800's in the rear lockers and a sumo 500 IBS in the nose (which I had to fill by tossing a pump overboard). I plumbed in the IBS exactly how you did, with the T and nose vent... it works perfectly!
Funny enough, when I purchased all the sacs last year from WM's they said the IBS couldn't be plumbed in on a 2001.
Cheers

Great that my post helped you out.

Will 1 inch pinch clamps work on 1inch hoses? Or do I need to use smaller pinch clamps?

Also, if I ever decide to remove pinch clamps, are they difficult to remove without damaging the hose?

1" pinch clamps should work on 1" OD hoses. I was able to remove them without destroying the hose.
