Operation: X and XT Series 
To fill a ballast tank, press the FILL button. The button will light up 
and the boat will begin to fill the desired ballast tank. To stop filling, 
press the FILL button again. The pumps will pause and the light 
will go o. To resume filling the tank press the FILL button again. 
When the tanks are full, operators will see water being vented out 
of the ballast overflow vents on the hull side. When a ballast tank is 
at 100 percent full, pressing the FILL button again will begin a 30 
second override. The pumps will overfill the tanks, excess water is 
pumped out of the ballast overflow vents on the hull side.
To empty a tank press the EMPTY button. The button will light up 
and the ballast pumps will begin to empty the desired ballast tank. 
To stop emptying, press the EMPTY button again. The light will go 
o and the ballast pumps will stop running. To resume emptying 
the tank, press the EMPTY button again. When a ballast tank is at 
zero (0) percent full, pressing the EMPTY button again will begin a 
30 second override. The pumps will over-drain the tanks, excess 
water is pumped out of the hull bottom. 
The ballast system in X Series, X Star, and ProStar models 
operates on an automated system that shuts down automatically 
when the emptying process has been completed. 
Operation: NXT Series
The three-position switches are clearly marked: FILL, OFF (in 
center), and EMPTY. Toggle the switch in the direction desired.  
Be certain to return the switch to OFF when functions are 
complete. When the tank(s) is/are full, operators will see water 
being evacuated out of the ballast overflow vents on either the 
gunnel or hull side (see Guide to Individual Models in this Owner’s 
Manual to determine the location of the ballast overflow).
The ballast system in NXT models operates on an automated 
system that shuts down automatically when the emptying process 
has been completed. 
 
 
Failure to return the manual operation switch on an NXT ballast 
system to OFF after emptying the tanks can cause the ballast 
pumps to fail. Such failure is not covered under warranty.
 
 
On models equipped with optional plug-in bags, if the bags are 
emptied and disconnected from the system, the original bridge 
connector MUST be reinstalled. Failure to do so will allow any 
water pumped into the rest of the ballast system to evacuate 
through the quick connect, which can result in flooded storage 
compartments which could sink the boat.
The original bridge connector in the ballast system must be rein- 
stalled if the optional plug-in bags are removed from the system. 
Failure to do so will result in any water in the ballast system
