Hi Everyone~

Just drove my 2012 A22 for the second time and decided I should test out all the PNP sacks my dealer installed. Everything was going great as my center tank, bow sack, and right rear tank and sack filled great. Unfortunately, the left rear sack never filled up and I suspect the left rear tank never filled as well since when I tried to drain it, nothing came out the drain on the side of he boat.

I removed the box under the skybox and both pumps were on; however, no water to the left rear tank and sack. Any suggestions on what I should be looking for? I'm hoping its a quick and easy fix vs. brining my boat all the way back to my dealer.

Thanks for any help or insight you may have.

Make sure the ball valve below the pump is open, if so remove the hose from the top of the bag and see if you can hear the pump running, maybe blow in the hose and make sure it's not restricted

If Walter's suggestion doesn't work, try turning on the fill pump while you are moving, that can help get it to prime. Once it's pumping you can stop. I had to do that when my boat was new and not again since.

x2 walter.

It sounds like you could hear that the pump was on. Go check again that the ball valve shut off just below that pump is open, then turn only that pump on to make sure you hear it spinning, then get moving at 5mph + with pump on to see if you can force it to prime, then pull the fill hose (presumably at the top of your fat sack) and suck on it with the pump on to see if you can get it to prime.

If all that doesn't work and your pump is spinning, you will need to check to see if there is an impellar inside your pump, or if the one in there is broken.

Thanks for all the advice and insight. I know the pump was running and the ball valve was open so I may try to manually prime the pump, hopefully that works. Otherwise it has to be the hose or the intake may be blocked. Thanks again :D
