Custom Ballast?

[BlakeHoward]

I just bought a 2004 22V LTD without any ballast system, only TAPS. Is it possible to get an automatic ballast system nstalled? Or a fat sacks my best bet?

PS- bought the boat almost a month ago and my first crank on my first day out I lost the fuel pump... UGH! still trying to get it fixed!

Yes, go through the ballast install threads and you'll get some pretty good ideas. A couple of forum members, SPBFAN & chpthril can source most of what you need. I got a lot of help from SPBFAN and other members thread posts.

Then, if you still have questions, go ahead and ask!

Awesome, thanks Dogbert. I'll keep those guys in mind when I decide install. All the best!

Yep, since Rival went out of biz, there's not a lot of choices for complete ballast kits, yet There's only one other guy selling a "kit" that I know of, but it's only a semi-automated system, you have to open/close ball-valves for draining and filling the different sacs. Not a bad system for someone wanting a simple but functional budget system, but last time I looked at the price, it was petty close to what a fully automated system could be put together at retail prices.
