While removing a ballast pump, I accidently dropped my screwdriver on the starboard side of the motor. I’ve tried fishing around with my magnet and only found a washer and a nut. Any ideas on getting it out or if it will hurt anything floating around down there. This simple fix has turned into a pain in the ***. To top it off now my boat lift is slipping and want raise my boat.

You should be fine. After the first ride check again. I've done it myself and those things turn up.

Got the lift fixed with some grease and now I’ve got to get the ballast pump working.Comment

Shouldn’t cause any issues, I found a whole socket set in the bottom of my boat when I bought it lol.Comment

You can always pull the divider between the motor and ballast tanks they just pop out then you have pretty good access to the motor. Whats going on with your ballast pump is it not emptying the tanks?Comment

My middle ballast pump is not working. It is getting 12.5 volts but will not turn on. I connected it to the starboard ballast connector and it ran fine. Where are the relays in this boat?Comment

At least your not a surgeon. Screw driver in a boat will present itself at some point.Comment

So when you push the button to fill or drain your getting 12.5v at the motor but the motor isn't running? Relays are under the steering wheel at the drivers feetOriginally posted by ROCKer View PostComment

That’s correct on the voltage when I push the buttons. I’m trying to find the relays that actually sketch the polarity and allow the current to flow to the pumps. Someone told me they were in one of the rear storages. I’m going to track the wires coming to the pumps.Comment
