Ballast stops filling or emptying when boat is put in gear. Any ideas?

Nope not unless they put a safety in so you can do that while moving lol.

I always fill and drain at rest but mine does work while moving.

Doesn't fill well while moving but should empty no problem at any speed.

Is it throwing an error code?

Do you use the FILL ALL button?
The three pumps are routed through a single 60amp breaker. Starting all three pumps at the same time can cause an amp surge and trip it.
I had this happen a few times and I now always stagger the start and it works fine.

I'm not seeing any blinking or codes.

I was empyting all at once. But also noticed when I just tried filling one, it would not fill.

I've had mine throw an error up on the screen while filling underway.

I think the key would be to at least get it started while sitting still and then cruise, at a moderate speed, while filling.

my timers started and I had an air lock or something so I had to adjust the timers by extending the timer cuz the CPU thought there were full .

I tired making them longer and that didn't work as well. Hoping it was just a one night glitch.
