G-Money's ballast systems

it's not my system but it's what I used. It was 50 bucks for 100 feet of hose.

Just a question. Its looks like by the pump placement the fill and drain has the bag facing the front of the boat. How would you run the line lets say for a enzo sac where the fill is facing the transom. When I was debating using the Jabsco's or the Tsunami's I was thinking about pump placement. If I went with the Jabsco's I was going to mount the pumps behind the battery wall and drill a hole in the battery wall to run the line to the bag. That is what i am going to do with my drain pumps if I ever get motivated. I still like the Jabscos for the same fill and drain lines and ease of installation. My decision basically was a flip of a coin.
The install looks clean and simple on the G's boat. I know having my ballast system has made boating easier.

Again just curious and good job to all. Thats what i like on tigeowners as the members step up and help each other.

Thanks for sharing

Jim You are the man....

This is the way the switches need to be wired......

[G-MONEY]

Jabsco sends you the switch with the 3 and 2 reversed.

All we had to do is change the two wires hook it all back up and bingo everything works.

Now we just need to clean up the wires under the dash and take it out to the lake.

So G when and where is the party. I know this next weekend is out for me since I am gone all week this week I need to spend time with the three people that are the most important in my life on Saturday.

EkSilvia it was freezing yesterday in SLC when I flew through. It is supposed to be clear on Friday though.

XPJIM, thanks for your help with the electrical. I had to leave town for work and felt horrible that I was not able to help G finish the wiring on the pumps.

Friday will still be cold but Sunny.

Saturday will be a great day to be out there.

Hey, guys, when you drilled the hole in bottom of the hull, how thick was it? Was it more than 3"?

[xpjim1]

Based on Tall's install it was about 5/8 of an inch

I know the transom on my boat was about 2 inch thick as it filled the hole saw

Took the boat out Sunday to test the new system...BTW for all you guys still seeing snow on the ground it was in the 90" water temp was 68.....


We put the boat in the water and flip the switches to fill and about 30 sec later...........

Water is coming out from under the floor

So I shut down the pump and start the investaiagtin.... Smart guy over here forgot to connect the pump to the bag....

After I hooked up the sac everything worked perfectly.


Thanks again Andrew!!!!!!!!!
