TAPS System Issues

[Steve Walsh]

A have a 2001 21V . . . lately, when I press the TAPS switch, the system seems to draw too much battery voltage . . . it causes the WAKEBOARD PRO gauge to shut down . . . I checked the plate to see if it is moving and also disconnected it from the plungers and it moves freely. The reservoir is 2/3 full and there are no leaks that I can see. The motor is working but seems to be working very hard . . . any thoughts on what I can test or look at??? Thanks, Steve

Do they train you to say this at dealer school? Every time I ask my dealer what it would cost to add an option to my boat it's at least $3K. This is usually followed by a long rationalization about how I need to get a new boat.

To answer the question, it sounds like there's either something in your hydraulic lines or the pump itself is starting to go.

No. I tell it to people who been waiting to see the new RZ2.

I also am having issues with my TAPS. No response when the buttons on controls are pushed. TAPs stuck in the bow up position. Gauge seems to not function either, reads middle of gauge.

Anyone have any suggestions?

What year and model boat do you have?

If you have the electric Lenco unit, the brain box has gone out and will need to be replaced.

I had the same problem on a 2000 2300V and I just needed to replace a 99 cents fuse under the dash. I hope that yours is resolved easily as well.

If it is the lenco module gone out you can call them directly and a lot a times they will send you a new one at no charge.

THanks,
I have checked the fuse. Its not that. Does anyone have Lenco contact information?
