Like the title says, anyone added vent lines to a 2013+ bags?

Getting tired of burping my bags to make sure they are full. Looking at the boat, I think I am going to just get a y connector and tie into the vent line from the hard tank. Anyone have any photos or tips to get to the vent line for the hard tank?

Bump this up, considering it too.

I vented mine. Rerouted majority of the plumbing to do it. Fill and drain times seem adequate to me. Lines go as follows:

Pump to anti-syphon to the back barb on the front of the tank (there are two barbs at this location, I've called them front and back). From the front barb on the front of the tank to the bottom front port of the bag. Hose that comes off of the "T" at back of hard tank and drain pump connected to bottom rear of bag. Vent line to top port of bag.

Hard tanks fill first, then bag fills and then over the side once bags are full. Works well for me. Bags and tank drain almost completely. Had to drill a 2.5 inch hole through the carpeted cover that hides the through-hulls at the rub rail for the vent line.

My rear Sumo 900's don't get air in them at all after the first time I vented them using the valve that came with the sack. When they drain, they drain pretty flat.

We hadn't been getting air in our Ronix 800s but today I had to burp a lot of air out. I think I will be adding a vent as well
