    Blades not working when on the water.

    Having problems with my blades input on the boat last summer. It’s been an ongoing thing and I’ve tried several things. They work fine up and down and up and down when in the garage or driveway or anywhere when I’ve tried to work on them. When I fish on the lake I can not get them to ever go up and down in sequence and recently now can’t get the. To come up unless I hit the up button directly on the pump. It’s with my stop switches, remotes, and dash switch. Any advise or thoughts.

    Have you replaced the batteries in the switches?
    are the tops of the pumps blinking green?
    do you have the app? And have you looked in diagnostics?
    have you inspected all wiring and fuses for strong and clean connections?
    is the battery up to par?

    I have the very same problem. Currently have a ticket open with PP. My pump also starts running on its own. I've checked the wires, battery voltage is good. I'm thinking I might have a ground issue. Waiting for their next suggestion. Keep you posted.

    Sam,

    Great Idea on the app. It's my foot switches that work intermittently and my dash switch. Work fine at the house in the garage and will be sporadic on the water. If I use the fob around my neck they work perfectly every time.

    Had a similar issue. Contacted PP and they advised me to run the diagnostic and mail it in.
    They determined I had low pressure on one pump and sent me two valve kits.

    Awesome customer service - use them.
