Hi there guys, anybody know how to recalibrate the ballast gages on a mastercraft X star??? When they are completely empty the gages say they are half to three quaters full??

Is the boat new? I just bought a 06 x15 and the dealer said that it takes a few times for the floats to free up a little. Cause mine are not reading the correct weight either. Good luck and i will keep checking this thread.

Find the sending units on top of the tanks and you should be able to adjust two different jewels on the unit itself. One is for Full and the other for Empty. It may take a few times to get it where you want it. If yours are like mine, you'll have to scrape away waht appears to be glue, then use a micro philips screwdriver to adjust.

thanks i will take a look!! No the boat is not new it is 2005 but has only done 38 hours!! I think the ballast system was run dry because all the impellers were broken so i have just replaced then with the silocon ones! and fingers crossed they are all good!!
