    My ballast install, not complete yet

    I have a 2002 21v riders edition and decided to install a ballast system. I used a 1 1/4 t where the fresh water intake comes in with a ball valve. I am using ballast puppy reversible pumps. I have 2 40 gallon gas tanks in the rear storage compartments. I plan on connecting fuel gauges to those to monitor my level. I still have to drill the vent holes in the hull. I want to use a ballast bag or bags in the bow, but want some type of gauge there as well. I was thinging of using a flow gauge to show the level, will that work? THe twin 40's full and 2 bags filled now(not fully automatic yet) makes a MONSTER HUGE WAKE. I love it for hydrofoiling. I can also wake surf very easily with this setup.Just a few more details to work out.

      pic's

      Sorry, my pics are coming, I have ben too busy using my boat, we've had a nice week of sunny, hot weather, and my skiing buddy is a pain, he doesn't want to work, just play. I am going to run my vents this weekend, and anchor the tanks. I tapped my cold water intake after my seawater pump, a mistake, the engine has to be running and slightly reved to fill up. Problem is I have the boat in the water, so switching is a real pain, the seawater feed will flow a crap ton of water when I cut the line.
