r20 ballast install - need some help with the install

[mseaway2013]

Hello Everyone - finally got my 2011 r20 on the water this weekend! chpthrill set me up with the extra ballast bags that are being installed this week...but my marina is having some difficulty with the install - can anyone send additional info or help me guide them in the right direction. Mike sent me all the hardware and bags and some photos but I am just wondering if someone can send me some step by step instruction to make this simpler for them!

Any help would be appreciated as I want the boat ready for Canada day long weekend!

Thanks
Marc

yikes, if they are having issues, I'd go there right now and get my boat back. Sounds like they don't know what they are doing....

X2!!! RUN away from that marina if they need help figuring out a ballast system, I'm a big DIY type of guy and I found my install was very easy for me. If you know how to use a drill, a heat gun and simple wiring, it's something we can all help you through.

I understand they your marine mechanic is not a Tige dealer, but do they have experience with doing ballast installs at all? Again, dont hesitate to pass on my cell # to them.

For those fallowing along, Marc's boat came with the 900lb bass level ballast. He converting it to the Surf/Pro level plumbing so he can install the Tige Surf ballast sacs. So its a little more involved then the usual Plug-n-Play surf sac swap.

Thanks for the update Chpthrill, show them to my thread here for info on adding plumbing to the 900lb system, it should be similar to the 900lb system on the R20.
