    Default Ballast timers

    Is there any way to default the ballast timers to 0?
    It thinks there is % in my bags rear bags and they are empty.

    Also my right rear pump is making a faint noise, but not pumping any water.
    The right rear is filling/draining based on timer, and I can hear it come on but just very faint and not pumping any liquid
    I’m going to see what I can fix on the lake

    Default

    You should be able to manually set your bags to 0% or 100% in the vessel settings.
    You can also change the timers but not sure about 0.

    Check for debris blocking the inlet of the ballast pump under the boat. Next would be shutting the ball valve and then changing the impeller on the water.

    Changed the impeller right on the water lol.
    It was smoked, which is disheartening because it was the one I just put in a few weeks ago!!
    I had the old ones as spares in the glovebox.

    Not ideal, but I’m getting pretty good at it

    I have the timers set to 9:30 to fill. Which is good. But it always thinks there is water in the bags after draining. I just need to set them to 0 manually and start over. But idk how, I only know how to do the timers

    First make sure all bags are empty. Pump will make noise one not pumping water.

    Go to "Vessel Settings" in you menu screen.
    Select "Ballast Level Reset"
    Highlight the ballast you want to reset and select "Empty"

    Done!

    Fyi..... there is nothing measuring the water in the bags. It is calculated based on time. If you have G6 setup (6 pumps) 9.5 minutes might be too long/ short.

    I have the G3 (3 pumps) it takes 13 minutes to fill and drain each.

    Go in to your ballast timers and adjust your drain times. The drain time formula is "Fill Time +/- X Time" Just adjust the "X time" in that formula. I think the default is fill time +30 Seconds so just adjust that time to 0 and see how it does and if it leaves any water in your bags. Not sure if it can be adjusted to negative time but let us know what your find.

    I don't think it can be negative, but it should be a feature. Mine do the same.
