The 2019’s have the new hex fitting on top of the bags which is supposed to automatically vent. I’ve often wondered how effective those are because I have to cycle my fill to actually get the bags to be full which I can only trust once I see water pouring out the side. I have seen water droplets by the hex vent cap so I guess they do work but not sure if it’s enough to vent. I agree they don’t seem to do that well compared to a standard vent line off the top of the bags with check valve in between the hull fitting. Makes me wonder how effective the 2020’s will be for filling the optional midship bags if they use the same vent method as the 2019’s.
