Odd ballast issue seacock closed

[Bajd98]

2018 242x. Seacock is and has remained closed since we got boat from dealer. Today I heard an odd new noise .... evidently despite seacock being closed the boat decided to put some water in center ski locker ballast? I discovered this because later the seacock obstruction warning came in. Totally befuddled as to how or why some water went in ballast in first place and now how to get the warning to quit coming on.... any thoughts ?

This has been an issue, not sure if there are good enough answers

Thanks .... I skimmed through those. I still don’t get how or why any water could or would even get in there in the first place with the seacock valve closed. Super annoying to have to mess with the ballast system since I’ve never even messed with it lol

The seacock is controlled by the connext system, correct? Is this the first you've noticed an issue or do you think it's been doing this since you bought it? Reason I ask, is there a way to physically see if that valve is closed? The system might say it's closed, but we all know how wonderful and convenient "technology and electronics" have made our lives.

There is a physical handle on the starboard side of engine...... it’s been in closed position ever since dealer showed me where it was and they put it in closed position. Now whether or not the physical handle actually kept it closed, i can’t say .
