As I was searching around my boat last weekend I was looking for a water strainer for the ballast and couldn’t find it. May it be hiding behind a panel?

Lastly I found all my ballast pumps and they are mounted horizontally. Can I still push air the rough them to expel any water that may be left in the lines?

Advice is always appreciated.

Each year raptor is a little different, there should be a crossover hose with a brass fitting, be sure to disconnect and let drain.

You might also have a transmission drain hose with a blue plug. My 2018 had one, but my 2021 does not.

There isn’t a strainer for the ballast.

Heater is on the closed loop cooling system.
