Ballast System Leaking
Hi Everyone,
I have a 2006 Moomba Outback V, the ballast system fills up and empties perfect but when have it off water continually comes through the lines, if i lift the line up high enough the water will stop. Does anyone know what causes this problem? Are the pumps bad or is it an o ring?
Thanks
Cameron

It’s self siphoning. Add some anti siphon elbows to your overflow lines and it should stop. You can get them from Wakemakers.

first off assuming you still have the old single pump and sprinkler valve setup? on top of the vdrive there should be a section of hard plastic sprinkler pipes and 3 valves with ballast hose going to each rear and the center locker bag.
if so is it filling on all 3 bags or just 1.
first place I would check would be the valves. they could be sticking partially open/closed.'06 Supra Launch 20SSV-gone but never forgotten
