Hey y'all! Finally got a hold of a new, beautiful 2017 212X in blue. I'll upload some pics here in a bit, but so far this boat is just flat out awesome compared to the 2016 Chap 203 VRX that I used to have.

The only issue I'm having is the internal ballast timing. When I hit fill all, the hard tanks in the back fill up, but the storage locker bag only gets about half full. Then when I hit drain all, that bag is completely empty when the screen says it is still at 50% full. At that point, the pump just keep sucking dry for a while until the timer runs out.

Does anyone know how to fix this without having to go to the dealer? I live pretty far from one as I live in Mississippi. Thanks!
