AFTER-MARKET BALLAST SYSTEMS IN SO CAL!

[wakeOC07]

If anybody is looking to install an after-market ballast system in their boat FROM SO CAL, and dont want to search all over for the pumps, fittings and switches, wiring, plugs and all the other things necessary for installation. please PM me anytime and i will give you the info! I have one on my boat, i installed it myself, i was finished the whole install in 8 hrs! very clean and works with the touch of a finger. I can fill left, right or front or back, fully automatic. Forget using the hand held pumps, enjoy your day out on the lake, quit hassling with all those wires across the boat! I promise it will be the best investment you make on your boat!

thanks

that will include your bags, pumps, switches, hose, clamps, you name and it will basically have it!

Appreciate the offer to share your install with us, thanks.

after this thing called work today i will take some photos of the whole thing and show you.
also in my thread earlier i said front and back fill, it is actually an option, you can choose how you want it to work for yourself.

has anybody heard of a company called make-a-wake? its based in kentucky!

Kinda looks like a "ballast-in-a-box" $1200 is not bad for everything, what sacs did you get?

[xpjim1]

I looked hard at the make-a-wake before I built my own. I thought I could build bigger faster on my own. The make a wake did not come with hose, clamps, thru hulls when I was looking at it. For a 3 pump system it was $975 plus all the stuff I needed to buy. It was going to be almost $1200 before bags. They do have a very nice setup though. It is clean and simple and a much easier install where fill and drain go thru the same pump. The board with the pumps is compact and can fit nicely. The wire harness and switches are top notch. The times are a bit slower since the fitings were 3/4 inch I believe. Overall another good option for ballast based on your needs.

What is your sacks weight in the back and front?

[wakeOC07]

xpmj1- all you had to do is call or email the guys there and they would put any size fittings you need on the setup! u also have a 24 footer, more hose= more time anyway! fact! im in a 20v, everything is compact and im only using 2 pumps, 8 min and im done!

eksilva- 1200 in front (1000lb bow +200 lead) and 2x 400 in rear

here are a few before it got dark

and a couple more

xpjim1- you could have always put a tee on both pumps and ran them to an integrated bow in front with the middle port on the bags as a vent, all with 1" hose. you could have saved money buy doing that. and not really sacrificed to much time! what 1 or 2 min?

Very nice wake...

Did you lose a lot of storage... That's my fear with ballast...

[chpthril]

What kinda pick-up did they include in the kit? And where did you locate it?
