So most of you are aware of the complete fail of the ballast port placement on the '14 T22's that caused the ballast to drain while underway. (Ports rear of lockers).

I thought Axis corrected this issue by moving the ports forward of the rear locker where they belong (see every other boat in the Malibu/Axis lineup)

I was looking on onlyinboards today and saw that some of the 15 T22's have the ports rear of the lockers like the 14's and some have them forward. I was disappointed to see this. This was a no brainier fix and apparently there will be some disappointed '15 owners that will have the same ballast issues as we dealt with.

Put one of these wine bottle savers in those ports and seal them up. I know it's not the fix you want but it'll work...I've seen it. Could also add an inline valve. Sometimes you have to improvise...most of us do anyways with every boat we get to tweak something we don't like or would like to improve.

Maybe I am missing something but I have no clue what you are talking about. Link me to some threads of this issue so I can get a better understanding of it.
