Rear Ballast questions... pretty simple.

[DylanR]

Just bought my new to me 2015 T22... rear upgrades were already done... I am thinking the bags are 750 but not 110% sure.. I had the wakemakers 910 exact fit in my Malibu. What is this hose that’s capped off? Vent? The bags will fill but when they get to 60% they will start collecting air and overflowing it seems... they eventually will fill close to all the way. Drains fine. 

What is the flow valve in the back lockers that say Forespar Marelon... are those just to the plug in play and which way should they be turned?

Valve handle for fill is straight with valve snd perpendicular to valve for closed

Most likely a vent hose that was replaced with the Air plug. We did the same. We kept getting spider nest and other bugs in the thru hull that blocked the vent from working properly plus the Air plug allowed us to "burp" better. But it is a little more manual labor and some folks want everything auto-fill. In that case just blow out the thru hull once a week or so with a tube inflator.

Use the kinetic vents for watering systems screwed in just like your air plug and you don’t have to touch it and they cost $8 on Amazon

The kinetic vents look like this and this may actually be the one recommended, there is a thread on here about which to use and had a few pics:
