If you feed it more PSI, it will bleed off right next to the Schraeder valve. That little pull up pin is spring loaded as well. I used to use a little 12V compressor/battery jump starter to pressurize mine, and only one would actually pop off excess pressure. The most important thing is that the green and white dots pop and stay up.

So worst case if I don't fix the air system.... Are the blue plugs an adequate way of draining the system?


Anythingelse i should drain? I pulled the lower water pump hoses and everything seemed empty

I went and bought a cheap cigarette powered air pump and left it on the boat. Then hook it up, turn it on, they pop in 20 seconds and they drain off in like 5 minutes.
