I recently purchased a 2015 212x. I am trying to figure out the ballast system still. I was required to removed the bags off at a boat inspection as I crossed state lines (western Montana). When I went to put both back, one is a bit tighter than the other it appears and I would just hate for it to pop off.
First question I had was that it appeared, there was some type of light silicone on the threads that were peeling off. Not sure if I need to do that again? The tighter I attempt make the fitting, it continues to rotate and pops off the thread, I do have it on a straight angle when tightening it down, not sure what would be giving me that issue?
Secondly, is there any after market parts for these stock ballast bags such as a quick connect to make it easier in the future?
Lastly, is there any way I can connect a hose to check if there are any leaks in the hoses for the ballast or does it need to be in the water to verify?
Thank you for the help. Any advice on this subject matter would be greatly appreciated.
