Help! Muchos glassius water - BALLAST NOT WORKING! (2012 RZ2)

[cameroon66]

Mild panic this morning. Flat water, ready to go, ballast won't fill (or empty) on our 2012 RZ2.

Bilge won't work either. Clearly it's the accessory system but the second battery seems to be fine. The hard switches are no better than the Tigé Touch buttons. Battery switch is at the correct position. Main breaker is good. But no love!

Help please! I hate missing a water session. And my partners in the boat arrive tomorrow for a holiday. They'll string me up if all systems aren't go tomorrow!

Thanks to the mechanically skilled and gifted here in advance!

Probably a fuse.

Probably a fuse.

x2 - check fuse and connections on battery ext...

Each ballast pump has its own fuse so its unlikely they are all blown. Bilge has its own fuse as well. Sounds like a main breaker or a a cable left off the battery.

I had this happen when we first bought our boat. There was a fuse hidden up under the transom, above the batteries. It killed about every accessory.

Bilge probably hasn't worked in a while, you are just noticing it now. Very common issue, should be a recall for this issue. I would check to see if you have power to the pumps. Check the butt connectors Tige uses at the pump. 2 out of 4 of mine pulled apart in the first year. Sometimes they need to be primed also by popping the tops off when they are turned on.
