Axis Wakeboard Boat Forum

Sup fellas. Before i start just to let you guys know this is my first boat so its all new to me. Well I was out the other day messing with the ballast setup. When I went to drain the arrowhead it wouldn't drain at all. I had to push on the bag itself in order for it to drain. Once it was about half way, maybe 3/4 empty it began to drain on its own. I was thinking maybe I filled it to much and maybe pinched the line. Hopefully that's all it was and not the pump. Like I said this is new to me so I'm just checking to see if anyone has had this problem. Weathers been stormy since, so I haven't had a chance to take it out again and try it once more. Let me know your guys thoughts. Thanks

Just shooting off the top of my head but if you can hear the drain pump working, trace your drain hose from the bag and make sure it does have a loop or twist in that could trap air and cause a priming issue. Sometimes the hose can be too long and cause a priming issue if it elevated above the connection point. Open your cubby compartment where your batteries are and stick your head in there then look to the right to see if the drain hose is looped in there. IF it is, just cut it shorter so it doesn't loop and cause an air pocket to get trapped...that would cause priming issues. I'm betting that it's a priming issue and simple

Awesome thanks AJ. Ill take a look at that when I pull the boat out of the garage next time. Really appreciate the help
