Post subject:  Bow ballast bag not draining

So we added Fatsacs to out T23 and I think I have something wrong on the bow sac. It was plumbed for the sacks factory it the bow had all 3 hoses hooked to a wye. The long hose is the only hose that will reach the front of the bag. The shorter hose that does not have the check valve in it is the hose that when I turn on the fill that the water comes out of. So I hooked that to the top back side of the bag and the final hose with what I am guessing is a check valve I hooked up to the bottom aft fitting. And now it will not drain.

Thanks!!

There should be two ports on the top and one on the side on the back. The drain is the back side port. The top two are fill and vent. On my a20 the forward most one is the fill.

Sounds like they made a mistake at the factory. The fill line should have the check valve, not the drain line. Take the check valve off the drain line and splice it into the fill line and add the quick connect fitting back on the drain line where the check valve was. Hopefully you'll still have enough line after you pull the check valve off the current drain line. If not, just throw in a double 1&1/8 make barbed fitting.

Maybe they connect all three together so that it will go overboard if someone turns it on when there isn't a bag in the boat?

That’s exactly why they do that.
