After trying to add some vents to my PNP bags I decided to take some pictures of the PNP set up of my 2016 A22. There's a lot of posts about this but not many pictures. So this is just for anyone curious of the new set up as I believe it's a little different from past years.
As for the vents I added to no longer have to burp the bags manually... I still need to test it out on the water. I bought all the hose and bag fittings from wake makers. Everything is 1 1/8" this year for the ballast. However the stock vents and bilge are significantly smaller. I'd guess 3/4" maybe even smaller. So what I did was Wye into the drain from the stock tank. I see no reason why this shouldn't work. While draining if some of the water returns back into the bag it will ultimately just circulate back into the hard tank and then pumped out again by the drain. So basically the water might be circulating while getting pumped out. I'll update this week once I get on the water.
Note** All pictures show up regular on mobile but on a computer they all rotate to the left. Im not sure how to fix this so I'm sorry to computer users.
Nice write up, I did this exact setup a few weeks ago except I put the Y fittings a couple feet or less from the through holes, you are right that when your draining you will be circulating water until your empty so before I went out again I added wakemakers in line check valves between the Y and the sac to prevent the circulating and it sped up the drain time quit a bit. I have a 2016 A20.
