Issue with balalst on 2005 21v

[luke22885]

So I just picked up a supra 21v last week, dropped it in water for first time last weekend and it seems no matter which bag I try to fill, water will go into all three bags even if I dont have the switch on. What would cause this?

Look at the 3 orbit valves on the ballast system. There should be a black switch. Flip that on all 3 I'll look for a pic to show ya.

If the switch doesn't help, sometimes it helps to take those things apart and clean them as well.

Good luck.

Yea I saw those switches and had no idea what they were for so Ill have to check them and since I have all winter now I can take them apart and clean them as well.

I had the same issue. I e-mailed the guys at Wake Makers and here is their reply:

The issue you're encountering is a result of underlying flaws in the factory system in your boat. The quick fix is to replace the broken sprinkler valves that are currently in the boat, which will stop the auto-filling option, until they break again. The more complete solution is to overhaul the factory system to completely eliminate the sprinkler valves.

We can help you with the latter, for the former, you'll need three Orbit irrigation valves, which you can get at Home Depot or Lowes.

I bought the Orbit Valves at Lowes and it works great now. They are only about $12.00 each so it is a pretty easy and cheap fix.
good luck

Replacing the valves is the thing to do, you can also go into the moomba forum and you will find lots of help in the how to forum or doing a "sprinkler" search
