How long should it take to fill the rear factory tanks in an X-1? My pumps will time out at least twice before the tanks are full. So basically I have to hit the switch 3 times before water comes out the overflow. I guess it helps me judge how full they are, but it just doesn't sound right.
|
they should fill in one timeout, that is what it is there for...
|
how many hours do you have on your pump impellers? We're at 175 on our 07 x-star and started to notice a difference in the amount of time it took so we replaced the impellers and it made a big difference. We put weight in our boat all the time though so we use the pumps a ton.
|
I'm only at 47hr. I've also noticed that one pump is significantly louder when running dry.
|
Mid-have your dealer reprogram them to add more time.
|
You shouldn't have to have it reprogrammed if it worked before without a problem. <BR> <BR>Ours became louder as well and sounded different when it was starting to ware. Just a thought.
|
I'm at 600 and haven't changed them yet. I can't say as I notice any real difference, and I use them a lot! Not too mention I have the Fly High system, so I am filling and draining about 3000lbs everyday.

They have actually always been kinda messed up. When I tool delivery the port ballast was reversed so that it filled when it was supose to drain, then it stopped working (wire came loose). I think the time to fill has always been a problem. Oh.. and my auto bildge likes to turn itself on before the water level is high enough to pump anything out. I love my boat, but considering a purchased a new boat with only 2 hrs, it has had alot of problems.
|
that seems to be a trend.
|
mine is fine..... 300 hours and no problems.... key is not to let them run dry if you have a pre 07 with the timmed switches.
|
greg you already have 300 hours on that badboy!?
|
Tex, <BR> <BR>As for the port ballast, that is something simple where the switch was put in upside down. Dumb, but it happens. <BR> <BR> <BR>With that auto bilge you may want to see if the filter screen is clogged. If they get filled with debris and it is wet, it will trip the bilge.
