    So my port ballast won’t drain. It will read 0% but the next day when I turn the boat on it will read about 80% sometimes as low as 60 but it’s always in that range and the boat has a list to the port side so I know it’s not draining. The port ballast is reading 1.035 V which doesn’t seem that far out of line with the others but the % is 39 which is a lot higher than 4 or 5!!

    Its a hassle to get the boat to the dealer. Is this just a simple fix by putting in a new sensor. Also it seems that they have upgraded the sensors replacing the $100 port with a bow $300 part. Should I get the dealer to warranty and give me replacements for all three?

    Yes they are a royal PITA to change. Get dealer to replace all three of them. That is what I did under warranty. Many Nautique owners have had issues with these ballast sensors .
