If I am not mistaken the hard tanks in the new MXZ actually go up the side of the ski locker which in turn gives you a reading on the bag?  Good point on what happens if you only want the hard tank full?

Correct. This is what I was trying to describe. 

This is only true on the MXZ

well for $250 you could definitely do it yourself and leave $175 in your pocket.

When Mason described it to me, he said the vent line actively "sucks" the air out of the bag. I believe there's a small pump on that vent line. I saw it briefly but didn't think to take a pic. I wasn't really on my game yesterday

I would like to find out more info on this "vent line" and how it works, intrigued on what they have come up with.

Where is this "pump" located?

I thought I saw a small device integrated into the vent hose itself. I'll try to get a pic in the next couple of days

I'm going to swing by my dealer at lunch. I'll try and get some info/pictures.

I also want to see if the rumors about being able to plug in an iPhone for music works.

I'm intrigued on the vent line as well.  I saw it, but didn't look too close as I assumed it was just a fitting and a hose.

I think it's a check valve?

 

Did the the picture show up? I had to use the direct link not the img?

I liked the idea of a magical air sucking pump better.

That is exactly what I saw...

Sorry, I must have misunderstood. Like I said, I wasn't on my A-game yesterday.

A lot cheaper then the flyhigh check valves.

I just checked mine on my 2016. Seems the vent line goes up in the gunnel as high as possible and I dont have any passive drain issues as it's higher than the bags. It seems I could y into that vent line to too if my soft bags easy. Not sure why the check valve would be needed at all in my setup..
