The solenoid valves have a small black switch on them. Need to be in the down position or the valves stay open. Check your owner's manual under gravity ballast.
Enjoy the boat. I'm still waiting for warmer water.

There should be 2 valves for the ballast tanks. If it is filling while you are moving and your fill switches are off, just turn the valves in the opposite position. That should fix your problem. I had that problem when my boat was new.
Funny the factory does not check / set them b4 sending the boat off to it's new home. I've heard tell of this issue often.

When I got my LSV,my ballast hoses were hooked up opposite.Fill line on bottom,and drain on top.They would fill some of the way,but as you can imagine not drain.I don't think it was a factory thing,just a dealer rush thing to get me the boat.No biigy.Also,the switches on the valves can be move very easy when doing work in the engine compartmen.Even checking tranny fluid you can hit with your arm without knowing.just be aware when your in there.Sorry for the long post.
