Ballast full/level indicators

Recommended Posts

 I have a 2011 23 LSV with the Viper system. When I fill my ballasts the center and left green indicator bars showing the level works. my right doesn't work at all. My front shows maybe 25% even if its full. Is there a reset or easy fix for this? Thanks

Float switch comes out from the top

I apologize but I'm not sure what that is. What is a Float switch? And out of the top of what? Is that the wires and sensor on the ballast tank? AMD if so what. Do I do to repair ir. Buy an new one?

In the top of the tank(s) you will have a round plate with 2 wires coming out of it. That will be the tank sensor and it is not uncommon to have issues (sporadic and otherwise) with the sensor(s) which is basically a rod through the center of a floating donut. Mine are hit and miss especially on the front one for what ever reason. You can buy a new one from Moeller or pull the old one to see if there is some sort of crud on the shaft preventing the sensor from rising or falling. The fuel tank is the same set up and manufacturer as well, with less than confidence inspiring results in my case.

Don’t you know it’s full when water sores out the side? If you are always running them full I don’t know how much I’d dig into this. Hit fill all and wait for the tank to over flow.
