I just bought a 2008 XLV and there is a water line in the carpet

Welcome to the forum Craig.

Congrats on the new boat.

Your pepto trans fluid and mustard V drive fluid concerned me.

Your going to need to drain those, fill, drain until it's the proper colors.

I'm worried you have water mixed in from freeze damage.

Get those fluid cleaned and get water hooked up or put the boat in the water and let it run for a bit to check the trans and V drive for water leaks.

Your ballast system is missing 2 valves. They are sprinkler valves you can pick up at any big box home improvement store. I would focus on fluids as stated earlier.

As stated by VA LSV you are missing two of the Orbit Sprinkler valves that go on the ballast manifold. They are just like the one on the end and will connect via those quick connect hoses.

The pump you are mentioning up front is most likely the drain pump for the front bag. There should be two of those in the rear as well.

Thanks all for the comments. I assure you all my fist focus is on getting the tranny and v-drive drained and changed. That makes sense on the connectors for the additional two pump in lines. Here is an additional question on that though. If there is one pump on their and 3 valves always open, why do I have 3 switches? One for the front and two for the two rear bags. As I see it, if the pump comes one all 3 bags would fill. What am I missing here?

The switches control the 3 valves, 2 of which you are missing, which are for the front(1) and rear (2).

[VA LSV]

The fill pump runs when any of the 3 valves are switched on.
