Hello!
Just purchased my '12 LSV about a month ago and have put around 20 hrs on it so far... bought it with the intention to mainly wakesurf. It has the factory optioned GIII ballast system and sacs with the factory reversible pumps. I know they fill and drain through the bottom of the boat. Each sac has 2 hoses connected and a "air vent" with a screw on cap.
Question is should they overflow out the grommets on the side of the boat when full/overfilled? And if not what are those grommets for? Reason I ask is I accidently bumped the switched off during fill of the a rear bag and then I turned it back on. Didn't realize it until I opened the side hatch and the bag was so full it popped off one of the quick connect plugs on what I thought was the drain line and filled the bilge with a fair amount of water until I got it reconnected. Shouldn't it have overflowed and vented out one of the grommets on the side of the boat rather than popping off that line from the bag?
Not sure exactly how the bags are plumbed from the factory. Also could someone direct me to where the actual pumps are located so I can check the impellers?
Thank you!!
