Last minute check before I order

[Dave K]

Hi everyone, I just thought I would post my ballast plan to ask if it looks complete?

Any ideas that I should do differently? Thanks

You need to look at duffy's ultimate surf boat thread. His set up is tight.

Do you already have all this stuff?

I am just about to order in the next day or two

With my limited knowledge, there is no vent for the walkway sac. Are you just planning to "burp" it manually.

I think I would vent the V-drive sacs to the opposite sides of the boat.

Did you look at duffy's set up? You might not need the giant pumps but, layout wise, it looks pretty sharp.

Why the menagerie of pumps?

Yes. I was just planning to unscrew top plug.

I was looking thru that link. I was thinking of the Johnson pump so when I use the 16x16x42 under the cushion insert I would not have any issue with a pump being too high and also i would not have to have a pump on the back side of that bag.

Why would the vent line be better run to the other side??

I thought the Johnson would fill my requirements to fill and empty the 2 front pretty easily, and I was thinking of using the rule to fill because of the speed and the 800 tsunami to empty because of the price.

I was however thinking of using the Tsunami to fill as well because the cost difference.

Your thoughts?

Run all vents and drains to the opposite side, if you don't do this the weight of the water and movement going forward will force water out while surfing. Since you are venting to the other side and it's the high side water will stay in.

Makes perfect sense. Thanks for the tip !!!

Also remember check valves on drains. I personally like the ones wakemakers sells.
