Hello, I am hoping someone out there might be able to help me with an issue I am experiencing with my 2006 Air 216. My port ballast tank had a bad sender and I replaced it. Now I am getting a signal at the gauge and can fill the tank, but can;t drain it. No noise at all from the pump when I put it in drain mode. Do you think it is simply the impeller or possibly a bad pump? Does anyone know what pump Nautique used in my boat? (It is 200 miles away so I can't just look at it) Thanks in advance for any help!

I have a 2005 216, and unless there was some major ballast upgrade yours should have the same pump types as mine does, which are Attwood Tsunami pumps and they are aerator style pumps. Doubtful the impeller would be bad since the impeller in these pumps is plastic and really doesn't wear out. If you can't hear anything I'd bet the pump just isn't working any longer. If you check Amazon for them there are a few options and they are quite inexpensive. I believe the port drain one is located on the port side towards the rear of the boat, where the engine cover meets the floorboard. That's where mine is. You could also check you're getting 12V to the pump when the drain switch is active in case it's an electrical issue -
I know in 2006 on the Super Air they switched to the Impeller Pumps, I do not know if they did that on the 216Comment
