Ballast bag cleaning???
So, took my boat out this weekend (15 Mondo Surf) and noticed the bags don't empty 100%, maybe 25-50 lbs left inside. Is this typical? Also, do you guys take your bags out occasionally and run clean water through them to clean the stinky lake water out?

I think it all depends where your drain line is sitting when the bag starts to empty. If it is higher than the lowest part of the bag, it wont empty. I just grab mine by the front of the bag and push all the water back for a complete empty. As for the smell, a bleach and water mix will clean and sanitize your bags for you. I always do this when I am about to winterize.

My bags empty at the rear. When they are getting close to empty I slow the boat and the the bow up forcing the water to the rear of the bags. It helps to get out a decent bit of water.

the check valves go on the vent line and they work really good. since putting these on my bags, they get sucked pretty flat.
