2017 212x Ballast Not Working

[gfletcher3114]

Hello,

My aft right and left ballast are not working. The center ballast is working fine. When I try to add ballast on the aft I see the % increase on the screen, but that red background behind the arrow never lights up (indicating that the ballast is filling). I dont hear the pumps kick on either. Both of my flow valves are open.

Im thinking maybe a fuse? But I didnt see a fuse to the ballast in the manual.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Thank you!

Have you tried going through the calibration setup. This doesn't sound like that would be the issue but something I'd probably try if it was me. If nothing else you'd see if the pumps activate from that calibration setting page or not.

There are no fuses for the ballast pump system. I would suspect that either the ballast pump control unit is bad or somehow terminals are coming out of the mating connector going to the ballast pump control unit. More than likely either would mean a trip to your repair center. The ballast pump control unit is the black box screwed to the starboard side wall in the engine compartment. The pumps are seldom the issue, especially in your case. I would never expect two of the pumps to go out at the same time.
