You have obviously been using this for some time now so have you had any problems with the ballast tank not being completely filled, I think I would go crazy wondering if it was actually full.
This has happened here even with the manual system with an airlock? and again after several days on the water when checking found tank was down after beaching nose up, presumably a leak in valve or not fully closed.
The mod is not on my list as I find it is easy to leave the bung out, open the valve and then just wait up front till it fills, this also allows me to rock the boat fore and aft etc to clear bubbles, usually get about 2" water in bowl before replacing bung.

I usually launch.. then wait a while then close the valve.. if I check it later using the factory hole, water pours out of the hole. So I can't say I have had an issue with it.
