    Starboard Ballast Issues

    We have currently encountered a problem when filling our stock starboard wedge tank. The starboard button on the main keypad will flash to empty the tank but will not light up to fill the tank. Honestly have no idea of where to start looking for the problem so any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks Tyler

    What boat? Keypad might be going, I think that is the only place it could be.

      I've started having the exact same problem on my center ballast. Empties fine but will not fill. When it first started the breaker blew, I pushed it back in and it would work for a little bit, then trip again. Now it doesn't work at all. I just ordered a replacement pump and I'm going to swap them to see if that fixes it.

        Its an '03 sante 210...yea those were the only two possible problems, maybe blown fuse in keypad or fill pump had went out. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I am assuming there are two pumps to each tank?

          If the keypad will not command a fill, replacing a pump will not help the problem. If you push the button and the only thing that it does is empty and blink no matter how you push the button, I am 99% sure it is the keypad issue. try puting 12v to the pump and see if it works before you replace it. I think you will find that the pump will be fine if it is as you are discribing.
