Odd ballast draining issue.

[fastsoup]

Hey dudes, 

 

Have a strange issue with my left locker. 2016 B52. When trying to drain the locker, I open the gates and straight going. The right light drains as it should, but the left one gets stuck with the locker bag at about 50%. If I oprn/close the gate nothing changes. I have to stop, kill the battery for a couple mins, back on and repeat and she drains? I know that the rear gate only opens about 75% (been meaning to address that) but I can't see how that would stop it from full draining. 

 

Any ideas?

Is the bag taking longer to drain than the hard tank? Sometimes there can be a flap of bag that is inside of it that can get stuck in the drain port. You would need to remove the bag from the connection on top of the hard tank and look and see if anything is blocking.
