Ram Circuit Fault

[BDR98 0]

Just signed a contract to purchase a 2016 Centurion SV233 and on the water test this fault code popped up on the screen and then went away. Ramfill worked on both the port and starboard.   Purchasing from a non-Centurion dealer so wanted to know if someone else has had this issue pop up?  

Screen said, "Ram Circuit Fault - A PDM circuit fault has occurred with one or more of the valves - please stop the ballast and investigate."

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thank you.

It probably doesn't matter to you anymore. In any case, all errors of this kind need to be double-checked. Understand whether the malfunction is one-time or systematic. What you are describing sounds like a limit switch failure on one of the dampers. It is also possible that the damper jams after a long period of inactivity. When parking for a long time, ramfill sashes must be lubricated with a special lubricant that does not destroy rubber. Do not use penetrating sprays such as "WD-40" or oil based lubricants as this will cause the seals to swell and you will not be able to close the damper again after opening.
