Ballast Install 2008 RZ2

Did you get your lack of suction worked out on the starboard side?

X2? Did you try flipping the switch to the drain position just to see if the wires need to be reversed at the switch?

Yes, tried flipping the switch and still wasnt pulling in water. It started to pull some water when the switch was on fill but then stopped.

pretty sure i figured out the problem. was using two different types of check valves and some of them dont seal sufficiently enough to create a vacuum. As such the pump was simply pulling air in through the vent line. If i plugged the through hull dump on the side of the boat and vent line on top of bag the pump almost immediately started pulling water in and filling bag. Need to order new valves and should be all set.
