Hey guys,
First time post here and I am going crazy trying to figure out 2 problems. I am pulling my hair out!
Problem #1 - I have 3 ballast tanks. My center ballast tank is run on a Jabsco reversible pump. It will fill just fine, but was blowing a fuse when flipping the switch to drain. I replaced the fuse and the pump. I thought it was the pump. It will fill just fine, but when I click it to drain, I get nothing. No power, no noise, nothing. The tank is full and I can't drain it. Also, when I flip it to "fill", water is coming out of 2 holes on the side of the boat. I know 1 is an overflow and that is normal when it is full, but why is it coming out of 2. Any advice? I really don't want to take this to the dealer for the stupid ballast pump.
Problem #2 - My red V-drive light on the boat is random. When I go to start the boat, it comes on when the key is turned to the "on" position. When I actually start the boat, it goes off. It stays off and then will randomly come on at about 3,000 RPM's, but only sometimes. This is around 24mph. Then when I back off the throttle, the light goes off. After riding for a bit, it will come back on again. It is random. Oil level looks good and oil is clean. I checked the oil in 1 spot. Is there another area I need to check the oil? It appears this is a PCM V-drive.
Any help on these would be great. I am somewhat mechanically inclined and would like to avoid a dealer if I could.
Thanks so much!
