2023 OWNER’S MANUAL
/
252
Failure to follow instructions regarding the care and maintenance
of ballast pumps as outlined in this Owner’s Manual can result in
damage to the ballast pump that is not covered under warranty.
Troubleshooting
If the ballast pumps do not turn ON when the switch is activated or
the touch screen is used, check that the circuit has not tripped on
the main circuit breaker panel, or use PDM diagnostics to reset the
fault. Continual tripping after reset is indicative of an issue that
requires the attention of an authorized MasterCraft dealer.
If the ballast pumps do not work and the circuit breaker has not
been tripped, it is likely that the pump has malfunctioned. This
can be the result of running the impellers while the tanks are
empty. Regardless of cause, it is necessary to take the boat to an
authorized MasterCraft dealer to determine whether the impeller
and/or pump must be replaced.
Your authorized MasterCraft dealer has an extensive
troubleshooting tree for ballast systems that includes parts of
the system that are not accessible to the consumer. Because
a malfunctioning ballast system can cause problems with the
control of the boat, no potential issue that arises with the system
should ever be ignored.
FOUR ZONE BALLAST
Models
XStar and X Series Models (excluding X26)
Purpose
The four zone ballast system features four individual ballast zones
to add customization to the wakes and waves produced by your
boat. Each zone can be filled to custom fill levels using the helm
mounted touchscreen. Profiles in the screen for wakeboarding and
surfing also control factory configured ballast tank fill levels.
Location
Each of the four tanks corresponds to a particular ballast zone.
The rear port and starboard tanks flank the engine, aft of the
boat’s center of gravity. When optioned with the Surf Star System,
ballast bags are plumbed into these tanks to add extra weight to
the boat. The third ballast tank is located under the walkway to the
bow of the boat.
The fourth ballast zone features a “U” shaped tank that runs the
width of the boat just forward of the engine. This tank is referred to
as the “midship tank.” The midship tank should be filled according
to the pre-set wakeboard and surf profiles in the boat.
