must be running at least 1500 RPM during the pumping process
(for both fill and empty operations). Drain water prior to ceasing
operation of the boat and loading on the trailer. More information re-
garding ballast systems appears in various sections of this Owner’s
Manual, but pay particular attention to the information in the Boat
