EricU Posted July 29, 2021 Report Share Posted July 29, 2021 My ballast tanks are taking in water with the switches off. I replaced the impellers but problem still exists. I’ll ride for 30 minutes and tanks show 1/2 full. Also, any idea where the fuse is for the engine hatch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ_MB Posted July 30, 2021 Report Share Posted July 30, 2021 What model year is your boat? Sounds like you have pumps and not gravity feed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeTJ Posted August 1, 2021 Report Share Posted August 1, 2021 Unless your boat is different than all the MBs I've seen, the gauge shows water in the hard tanks, not the bags. That being the case, your problem could be that the ballast gates aren't closing properly. Perhaps shine a light into the ballast gate intakes to see if there is debris stuck in there preventing them from fully closing. I once had a whole 11" long dead bass stuck in the ballast intake. Pretty easy for some grass or a stick or something to get stuck in there if you're in water with a fair amount of debris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
