I got the dealer to replace the ballast tank hoses and loop them higher than the top of the tanks. That seems to help with the tanks loosing water when Surfing. If I were to leave my boat unattended on the water I would close the gate valves to the ballast tanks .HairyGorilla wrote: Wed Jun 03, 2020 8:00 pm One side ballast on my R5 surf seems to fill with water at times when we leave it on the water. Not entirely sure if it happens while stationary or driving.
You think the solution is creating a loop in the fill line? Might need to inquire with my dealer this fall.
Yes I've debated this when leaving the boat overnight. I've never closed them but there are 3 easy to reach valves right under the engine hood. I'll start doing this when in between lake days.Jeeper wrote: Thu Jun 04, 2020 10:28 pmI got the dealer to replace the ballast tank hoses and loop them higher than the top of the tanks.
