TigeDuner's Ballast Install

[KonaKing]

Must resist the temptation to do the same.... must resist the temptation to do the same.... This looks awesome so far. I feel that a project may be under way again!

Now your talking Moki

[thtrog]

I've also ordered bags from Andrew & a manual pump. I can't wait to try them out, but I guess I know whats next....
Looking good TigeDuner!

More progress..









Finally thru the hull....

Nice Job!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am anxious to see how you route your plumbing and what pumps you chose to use to get the discharge out the side of the boat. For now, I am sticking with my 'aerators are better' mantra.

Mounting the port pump.



Hose to the front

The water is discharged out the bottom. The side ports are for the sac vents only.

Main valve complete



More tomorrow

Which side is your perfect pass paddle wheel on?

Is your through hull a backwards scoop or just a mushroom?

G - money has some slow but steady back drainage, did you put check valves in?

[TigeDuner]

The perfect pass is on the same side as the pick up. It is mounted backwards. The ball valve will stop any unwanted water and I did install 6 check valves, one on each fill and one on each drain. Hope to test this weekend.

Resistance is futile. Come to the dark side!

No, no, Darth is not my father....

At our next get together, I would like to see your setup. Get that thing water tested so we can see some pics of the new wake and you can let me know what you would have done different if anything

TigeDuner,
I am anxious to hear how well your setup worked once on the water!

C'mon, you know you're going to do it anyway, so just do it!

Are you worried that the turbulence from the scoop will alter the accuracy of the perfect pass pickup? Let us know how it goes. This has been suggested as a possible problem with the scoop in front of the perfect pass paddle wheel, but I have yet to hear of any real life situations where that has been a problem. I hope it does not give you any trouble with maintaining consistent speed.

Mok will be upgrading before he goes to all of that trouble.

I called Taylor's yesterday "again" and they said it will be ready on Friday. I have to finish the install Friday night, then I will test the new ballast on Saturday morning. You are welcome to come see it any time.

Perhaps we could schedule a late afternoon at the lake next week for our next get together.
