I’m new to the Malibu boat world and I have a totally dumb question but I’m stumped I have a 2004 Malibu 23LSV and I can not for the life of me figure out how to run the center ballast pumps. I know they are located in the center under the trap door but I can not figure out where they get power from I have three switches that run the front and the rear what am I missing

All the stock tank ballast switches on my LSV are labeled with arrows pointing front or left and right.  If you have a keel tank or a tank in the middle you will have 2 pumps in the center hatch where the bilge is located.  One pump fills the bow the other fills the keel.  Try to turn on the switches on the right hand side and see and hear what pumps are running.  Don't run them dry for too long as its not great for the motor.
