On my 2012 Axis A20 my rear ballast drain pumps were getting weak so i went to replace, they are getting 12v to the connector on the harness side but when I connect a new pump I loose voltage.

Also when I connect the new pump my starboard side interior lights come on dim. Also same thing is happening with the blower motor, 12v is at the connector with it disconnect.

I am very mechanical but I cannot figure this out. It seems the positive leads are grounding but I have tracked down as much of the wire I can find and haven't figured this out... HELP

Does @justgary know what fuel pressure should be on the vette engine?

I went ahead with this one.  It's a beautiful boat and I'm pretty happy with the wakes.  Here's a pic of a 50 degree test ride in the rain!

One problem - I had check engine notifications and error codes go off at the end of the day.  They are:

SPN 1326 FMI 11 - Cyl 4 misfire detected

SPN 1326 FMI 31 - Cyl 4 CAT damaging misfire

I was able to transfer my warranty and have an awesome dealer in MN who I know can take care of it, but it's 2.5 hrs away.  Could this be as simple as a plug, plug wire, or ignition coil?  Anyone else had to address these codes?  The motor is an M5.  

I noticed when it went off when I made the wedge more aggressive and it really put a load on the boat.  I did a bunch of cruising around with no issues.  The codes came up at the end of the day when I was fiddling with the surf settings.

I almost wonder if they didn't reattach something right at the warranty inspection.  I ran it a bunch before I took it in for that without issue.

Let me know if you have any suggestions.  Thanks!

@MidwestVTX I'm in a similar situation. Does your 21LX have the diamond hull? Considering either the 21LX or a 21VLX and I would like some feedback on the ski wake between these boats.

@BlindSquirrel that's what I was looking for, thank you!

Is yours actually bad?  I would just clean it (and the rest of the throttle body) if you are having idle problems.
