So I just got an 2011 a22 and noticed that the bow ballast isn't draining. So I started playing with it and figured out that the breaker by the seat had popped and pushed it back in and all was well for about 3 minutes and then I noticed it popped again. So I repeated this time it worked for maybe 30 secs and popped again. There must be two pumps because I have 2 switches for the mid and front which should be the same bag. However when the breaker pops it stops draining all together. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

The mid and front are not the same, those are two different fill locations. The mid is a 500lb hard tank hidden under the floor. The front is the 950 arrow bag that goes under the chillax and front seats. The tank is standard, the bag is optional so you might not actually have both.

Yeah just figured that out. There is a hard tank and a fat sack on top.

Ok. So I assume now you know which switch is which. You could try following all the hoses and make sure they aren't kinked or that nothing is stuck in the hoses. If not that, try pulling out the pump and see if you can turn the impeller by hand. It should move easily. If not, something may be stuck in the pump or it may be worn out. I'm assuming something is making the pump motor work too hard and that's tripping the breaker after a bit.
