Pull the pump out and check the lower section for clogs. If its clean you can try bench testing it. Take a 12v battery and hook the pump to it and put the pump in a bucket of water.
If no glory that way, replace the pump. Its sucks because it doesn't suck.Malo <--- Means--Evil or Mean One. This explains a lot.

Your drain pump should ideally be connected to the bottom port on the tank/bag in order for optimum draining.
Todd, can you take a pic of your rear bag setup that shows where the pump is? I think we can fix your problem pretty easily, I just want to make sure it's what I expect.

Jason, here is a picture of my left rear ballast sack fill and drain points. I just emptied the remaining water out of it by lifting up on the sack and putting my knees into it. I am sick of doing that.
I also included a few pictures of my 2006 XLV and my truck, the critical setup.Last edited by ToddXLV; 06-08-2009 at 05:23 PM.

Nice setup! Any chance you can take a pic of the hose and pump on the other side of the engine divider?

Hehehe, yeah that would help ya a little more. Sorry Jason, I will do that in the morning before we take off to the lake. We're going to mainly surf tomorrow so we need the left ballast full most of the day. I really need 2-3 heavy dudes on that back corner to give us a good wave. I'm going to have 2 dudes (me and my friend, we both weigh 225+) and 2 girls. Josie is a kick ass wakesurfer so she is going to benefit from us sitting on the corner. I'm really getting into wakesurfing, it's a lot more chill. I slightly sprained my ankle last Thursday landing a jump on the nose of the board. Even after I sprained my ankle I wakesurfed 2 different sets. I find it relaxing.
