hello all,
I have bein trying to figure out the ballast system on my boat for a while now, and starting to get frusterated. What I thought was a burnt out pump, is likely not the case. Here is the situation. my left ballast tank in my v-drive is no longer emptying, i have the gravity 3 system in my 2003 lsv boat. I found the cause to be a burnt fuse. If i replace the fuse, it will empty the tank for a few seconds, and then the fuse will blow again. I took out the solenoid that leads to that particular pump, and im told that there is a crack in the solenoid near the electrical supply, it was thought possible that this was the cause, I was also under the impression that this solenoid valve was the evac pump, i now know its not. any ideas on what the problem could be? I'm starting to get very frusterated with this whole situation, my local dealership is less than helpful with this as well.
