need to find marine shop to work on toyota boat
« on: June 21, 2005, 18:07:08 pm »
i live in arizona and i cant find a marine shop to work on my 2000 epic 22. the problem is that the shower and the ballast systems wont work. i bought the boat a couple of months ago and the seller told me that they worked. i have tried many shops but none they are all scared off by the lexus engine. i also am not even positive how to turn them on so it could be that they work but when the previous owner took me out he wasnt to sure about things either. any suggestions or help would be appreciated

Neither of those two systems on a Toyota are different from any other inboard, it shouldn't be hard for even a dumb ass boat mechanic to figure out. The ballast system went through changes and can be problematic, but it's not hard to make something work. The switches are on the dash usually, the accessory ones. The pump is probably in the storage compartment or under the back seat. There is info on the How TO page.

Find the pump, turn on the switch and check for 12vdc with a test light. If it is there, it is a bad pump, not uncommon. If the pump turns on, make sure that you have opened the hand valve to let water in, follow the hoses to the inlet in front of the engine.
