Ok, so I have a 17' Aquaterra Sea Lion, and have been really happy with it. Last weekend, I was solo in the Outer Boston Harbor, and stupidly not wearing a wetsuit. I capsized, and had to deal with hypothermia.
However, the point of the post is, both my bow and stern compartments got a good deal of water in them. While she did stay afloat fine, I was wondering if people could shed some light on float bags, what they are, how they work, and how they're installed? Thanks!

Hey, obviously this belongs in the Gear section...sorry, moving it there now...
