    2016 G21 Starboard Ballast Tank issue

    I ran into an issue this past weekend on my 2016 G21. The starboard ballast tank seems to be reading 0% in blue on the Linc system, but 0%. Yet the overhead display says there's still 946lbs in the tank. When I go to fill up, it will read 90% in like a minute while the other tanks are at 10% or less. When try to drain the tank manually no water comes out, but the boat does seem to lean towards the starboard side like there is water in it. Assume it may be the pressure sensor that has gone bad, but before I start taking the boat apart wanted to see if anyone had any experiences here.

    Thanks much in advance

    Yea bad sensor. Nautique went through a lot of these. There are updated sensors available. It does require a LINC firmware update as well.

      I replaced the port side sensor on my '16 a couple of weeks ago, interestingly enough it didn't require a LINC update. Did a complete fill and empty and it was good to go. The bad sensor that I pulled out was the old style, took a 1" deep well socket. The new style are a screw in plug mount (much better design) on the sensor body and a 15/16" wrench.
      Icey, if you haven't already, try a complete fill with water coming out the overfill, and then a complete empty until the pump starts to groan. Do a complete shut down and battery's off. Fire it back up, if it doesn't reset for you, then it might be time to shell out $300 bones for a new sensor...
