    Got boarded by a duck today. She stuck around for about 10 minutes and then flew away.

    I had a pet duck when I was a kid, he would follow me around and swim with me in the pool, dive under with me...he was my buddy. I don't eat duck and still love them. I went out one day and a possum had gotten a hold of him. I ran back in the house and grabbed my 22 I had inherited from my Grandpa and took care of him....Coop full of dumb tush chickens put on earth for food supply and it had to get my duck??? Anyway I still like ducks, I still hate possums.

    Sounds like the ideology at the factory is to over fill and allow it to flow through the vent port. I do agree that you should be careful of drain times. Thats something you want to be precise on. Running the reversible pumps empty will eventually kill the impellers. They're not built to run dry, which is why Supreme went with the timers on the '17+. Previously people burnt out their ballast pump impellers often due to forgetting the pumps are still on. And yeah, complete bs on the QF tanks overflowing. The only way you could do that is if you had the QF open, and then put the boat in reverse and went 10+mph.

    1. You cannot overfill hard tanks. But I usually fill the hard tanks after the pnp are 50+%. This ensures that the hard tanks are as low in the water as possible and thus can fill as much as possible (since its a gravity fed system) 2. For your upgraded bags, I've set mine to about 8:30 for each of my 1000 bags. This ensures its full, but not about to break your lockers full. 3. Its complicated to calculate the total time to fill and drain the hard tanks. The amount of flow through the open valve is calculated using gravity. But if you insist, here is how you would do it. Each of the rear hard tanks is 500 pounds, which is about 60 gallons of water. Using the Hazen Williams calculator for gravity fed pipe flow, we assume a 3" pipe diameter for the valterra valves. Then we assume about 3" worth of drop. This is the height difference between the lake water level, and the TOP of the hard tank. I'm estimating this using the fact that the exit port on the QF is at the BOTTOM of the hard tank and that difference is approx 6". Half that and you're probably fairly close. This gives us a gravity flow of approx 70 GPM. This results in an estimate of just under 1 minute for fill and drain.
