G-Money's ballast systems

[eks]

I hope to test mine this weekend, but still alot to do. The boat will be in the water-one way or the other.

Did you get your part from SBPFAN as well?

Do you have pictures of your ballast system?

Dang, I thought I was going to take a break on working on my boat this season -- but I am feeling myself getting sucked into doing this!

I am interested in hearing how things go for you TigeDuner!

You can come over and see my install. I should be getting my boat back on Wednesday from Taylor's. Warranty issues again.

I have not yet tested the system after the installation. I am planning on testing it Saturday if the boat is ready.

The install should be similiar for your boat. We had a 23V before our 24V and there isn't much difference. My install is based on G-Money's, EKS's, and xpjim1's comments and installs. Got the bags and pumps from SPBFAN. Hope to get it done this weekend.

[G-MONEY]

yep.....

[TigeDuner]

That is what I am using and I believe what G-Money used also.

I have 400s in the rear V-Drive lockers and the Fly High integrated bow sack up front. The are filled and emptied by 3 Jabsco ballast puppies.

Don't worry about it. I got what I needed from your pictures. I am going to drill thru the bottom tonight and did the layout off of your pictures. Pretty much only goes in one spot.

Moki,
I am in the middle of my install that mirrors G-Moneys. Same boat, just a few changes like the pump locations and hose type. Hope to get a thread started soon.

I suck I still need to get you the measurements.....

So to be clear, did you do the same system as G-Money?

Those ballast puppies are nice pumps. I am glad it is working out for you. If you have any questions or need help you know where to find it.

Yup. It's this thread that actually inspired me to do this!

It's a fair amount of work. My problem is that my boat's about 50 miles from the nearest Home Depot. Today I discovered that the General Store had everything I needed and it's only 5 minutes away. Prices were pretty good too. They saved my bacon today because I was able to get some additional hose clamps when I needed them. I added a fuse box for the 3 ballast pumps and had a fuse go bad. It took me a long time to find it...I swore I checked them. But it's all good now.s

I still have to reverse the direction of one of the pumps but other than that, it's fully functioning. It's going to be nice!
