KillerBren's 2006 22VE Ballast Install

Yup! should be ready to go. Just got to wait for a part to come for my FAE tomorrow and she's ready to go in the water.

I wanted to wax it this week, but don't know if i'll have enough time.

I just got my FAE in yesterday! Ordered the one piece Y, can't wait to get it on my boat tomorrow and take her out! I like what you did with your switches. I noticed your net is all stretched out too, I popped the staples off mine while I had that panel off and tightened it up, looked a little rugged! Your install came out nice man! Post pics of that FAE once you get it on

The FAE is on already but I have to take it off and adjust it a little bit, I also got some new brackets in today which install to the taps hinge plate. I'll take some pics tomorrow and show you.

FAE is on and installed. Still need to change the regular nuts to lock nuts, trim down some bolts, and silicone some screws, but its pretty much ready to go.

Okay, everything is done, pictures will be posted this weekend.

I have a question for all of you. I have one reversible pump to transfer water from side to side. My initial thought was to put on a 90 degree fitting onto one of the bottom ports. The problem with this is that the top of the fitting sits about 4 inches up off the floor. In all honesty, this is probably okay, but I was wondering if I put the 90 degree fitting on the top it can move water all the way down to the bottom of the bag. Since it is a reversible pump, if there was air in the top it should be able to prime just fine right???

Tomorrow is the big test day, i'm excited!

The lower fitting is the most ideal. One potential issue with filling and pulling from a top port, is that you need to leave plenty of hose length to allow for the hose to travel down with the sac, as the water is removed. If the hose is caught short, the suction will break and the transfer stops. The port location should not create an issue

Thks mike, I'll leave it in the bottom for now and see how it goes. Thanks for shipping those fittings, got them today, leaving for the reunion tomorrow. Perfect timing!

Mike set me up with a reversible that goes bottom port to bottom port. The reversibles have an impeller so it will not passively drain. I have a straight fitting through the back locker wall.

I have the reversible transfer pump from Mike and I use it at the same time when filling. I fill the off side bag then use it to transfer fill the surf side bag. That is a powerful pump and works well for that purpose. Same thing while emptying.

How Is everything working. Great install going to do mine soon and would love to hear some feedback on your setup. Thanks

Everything working great all year. One of the best things I ever did!

Cool. Looking at doing a similar manifold but thought with the one pump lower I might have issues. Thanks

Did you end up using any check valves?

[chpthril]

3 .75" check valves one in each vent line

2 1" check valves one in each aft fill line.

[gravityair]

What ones did you use? Thanks

[chpthril]

good ones
