Ballast bag fittings issue

[Rush]

Anyone else having their fittings continually pop off on their Max? I’ve repositioned bags numerous times. Even if I only fill them 3/4 they still pop off.

If you haven't used PVC cement to glue your threaded fittings to your bags that is going to happen.

Factory setup or aftermarket sacs? Threaded fitting coming out of threaded sac port or quick connect coming off sac fittings?

Factory setup. Female quick connectors popping of male fitting on the bags

They should have red push down clips that you engage after putting the fitting on. Do yours not? Any photos? Those always help.

Yep, they’re engaged. When I put them back on and tug on them they stay connected, one fill and they pop off

Is it the fill/drain line or the overflow? That is really strange.

[Rush]

All 4 fill/drains. there’s 2 on each bag. It’s weird.

I had an issue with one of my fittings popping out of the bag itself. I ended up unscrewing the clamps holding the hose to the deck that way it could flex and articulate some. That fixed my issue. Not saying yours is doing that, but it is an easy place to start. You may want to get your dealer involved. That is a lot of water your bilge is having to pump out.

Id look close at the black part of the fitting where the red locking collar travels on, may find its broken. This is usually the case when the collar acts like its locked but the fitting still pops off.
