Unable to completely close ballast

[drtybrdy9]

I have a 06 210 and even when I have the ballast tanks closed under the steering wheel and in the enigine compartment, they still fill up. The pumps are also all off. Has anyone had this problem or know of a fix?

Yea, I have this problem too. I believe, and people can fact check me, that the valves going into the ballast are pretty shotty. Jeff has a fix where he replaces the helm control valves with solenoid valves. I am planning on doing this in mine, and I am assuming this will stop my constant filling.

basically I need to replace the ball valve or upgrade to a solenoid valve? I saw the ball valves on nautiqueparts.com for around $50, any reason I couldn't just go to my local hardware store and use theirs which are around $15?
