My center bag over fills but I noticed it is 25% full when it says its empty, tried to over ride to empty but just stops, I took bag out in winter so not sure I put it in right. should the filler spout be at the bottom or top of bag. I have it on the bottom right know.

I would think you just have to keep doing that.....

Or I wonder if when you have it out of the water, if you say fill to 40%, let it try, then say empty again? (just not sure what that would do to the pump???)

At rest the center locker is not level. So in order to drain the center bag the boat has to be going in order to angle the water to the drain.
