Finally we drilled some holes in the boat for the ballast system on G-Money's boat. The pumps are still on order and should be here Thursday. for the most part all the fittings are in place and tomorrow I will put in the hose after I get done with work. This is going to be a very nice and simple system. I am very excited to get it going. I will post pics with out a hole lot of explanation unless you guys ask as the project progresses. He is putting in a 1" hose system for the system. We have a forced feed pickup installed back wards on the bottom of the hull with an emergency shut off valve feeding three water puppy Jabsco pumps. By using the water puppy pumps there is no need to put in one way check valves and all the other misc. components that are in most systems. The water puppy pump fills the bag and empties the bag. Because it is an impeller type pump unless the pump is turning water will not be going through the system. The reason for turning the force feed pickup back wards it so that the pump does not have to overcome the force feed of the water and they can drain the system when the boat is moving through he water. It is not 100% complete but we got the bulk of it done with a whole lot of talking and goofing around it two hours. Here is the starting photos and I will continue to upload them tonight and tomorrow. So stay tuned more to come. SPBFAN.

Don't you love the Jabsco pumps
... except I avoided drilling the hull and T'd off the raw water intake on the 3 I've done.

I am installing the same system, perhaps I will do the back intake instead of the bottom intake.

It will be interesting to hear how it works on the water. I didn't think about reversing the pickup but have some interest in how it's going to work. Great job guys....
p.s. Din't your salesperson tell you that Tige's don't need ballasts.
