Bow bag drains itself when surfing

Hi I just purchased a A22 2014. My fly high bow bag drains itself dry when we surf. I always have to turn the front pump on to fill it back. What is wrong? Can somebody help me?

What would be the fix?

I had the same problem on my 2014 A22. There is an inline check valve on one of the lines that may be stuck open(looks like a round disk with a rubber flap in the opening) allowing water to drain while driving. I beleive it is the fill line but i could Be wrong. To fix this I removed that check valve and installed a manual ball valve, now I open up the ball valve to fill and then when it's full I close it.

The vent loop (if equipped) might be too low. Raise it up as high as possible.

JLyons has to be right, the vent problem does not empty the bag, though you as all of us in 2014 have the vent issue, I'm leaning to the wine cork for that( best solution if room in bottom of boat would be to install a longer and possibly coiled that length of more line in front of highly mounted p trap under dash to provide more back pressure to fight the nose rising and water seeking its level). Just replace the check valve , which may necessitate a new length of line cause it is hell to to get these valves or anything back out of those hard coil reinforced plastic lines. If your bag doesn't leak at all after that do what JLyons did, but better is a new and working check valve
