2016 A20. Boat came with rear pnp already installed. Mismatched Eight.3/ronix bags. On one side there is a velcro flap over a fat port (I guess to drop in a pump, but I never use that port) and a what looks like a "burp" port with some sort of non-working spring-loaded valve. The other one is just a regular bag with 2 threaded ports on top that are capped.
When I bought the boat I asked the dealer if I would have to burp the bags or anything (bags on my Sanger would fill with air that needed to be released as I was filling). He said no. Well that isn't true, these bags both get significant amounts of air in them and it needs to escape before they fill all the way. As I was filling one day the fancier of the bags with the weird spring loaded port actually made a huge pop sound almost like a gun going off and the spring loaded port actually blew right off. Luckily the rear locker was closed and I was able to find the cap.
Anyway, I have been getting water (from vests and such) around the bags so I went to see if I could remove them yesterday and it was really easy -- just two quick connects on each bag, one front, one rear. There is no vent or overflow line or anything. I don't see how any air could escape without me manually burping the bags. Does everyone do this or is there a better solution?

With my bags my dealer only vented my hard tanks so I still have to burp my bags. I'm going to tap into the vent lines for my hard tank and run a hose to the top of my bags so the vent to. Just make sure you tap into it high enough that they don't syphon out.
