Last fathers day....Ran the boat on some rocks. $8500 and 2 Months later back to boating.

This Fathers day. - Just installed brand new Ballast From WakeMakers, and a new 1617 Prop. Fun! Not quite....

My Fill port came loose on one bag. Didnt realize it. Completely swamped the Bilge. Transmission was spinning in water as well as the engine.

The Bilge pump didnt work.


I have multiple issues so I will ask one a time here.

Ballast pumps: Run for a second, then just shut off. Play with them a bit and they start working. Then stop. Most noticeable on Filling.

Bilge Pump. Not sure how many I have, but I believe just one where the V-drive trans is. - Nothing..doesn't work auto or manual.


Swamping the engine and transmission.- Water didnt make it past the head, but engine wasn't making any power. It wouldnt get past 3000 RPM when starting to pull up surfer. Perhaps plugs were shorting out??? This was when I noticed the issues of the bag.

I haven't looked in the trans yet. We limped the boat back and put it on the trailer.

Troubleshooting advice would be greatly appreciated.
