JIm,
Funny you mention that. I broke a ballast pump last week. The pump housing just broke off where the hose attached. Very strange. I will be posting a thread on that soon. I would consider moving the discharge pump to behind the wall also.
Would you just drill a hole at the bottom of the wall to pull the hose through?
Doesn't the Enzo sack have a hole in the bottom rear of the sack? You would just move it to the rear corner?
Greg,
That wake looks terrific...just like mine! I have played around with things a lot and keep coming back to this setup: NO weight up front ( I know I get told over and over to put weight up there...but the fact is it simply does not help MY wave) all of the weight on the port side, TAPS all the way up, or barely down, 11.5 MPH. I go slower, faster, TAPS different, weight up front and I always end up back at this setup. It may not work for a Ve, or other boats, but this is what works for mine. I also find if I fill 400 or so on the starboard side, it helps.
Couldn't you figure out a way to T off of your current system so that you don't have to remove the hard tank altogether?
Your system should have had check valves installed in the first place to prevent backflow.

I thought the same thing about the check valves, but I either didn't have them, or they don't work. When my sack was full, water would come out of the vent hose, AND the drain hose. So I put in some PVC ball valves. They work great.
Today, I ran with the front 200# port side full, and the Enzo completely full, taps at 3.5, and the speed at 12.7. The wake was outstanding.
