G-Money's ballast systems

Jim You are the man....

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

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

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

i'm not sure about the hose issue. The hose I used will not kink and its cheap. that being said I have no idea where to get it, as rival sold it to me.

Let me see if I can find a pic.

G,

Did you get the pumps wired correct?

We got it, now just got to get the switches home wire them up and prey.

Thanks. Now I get the idea.

same location on the left pump

The front pump is in the storage area under the steering wheel all the way up against the bow wall separating the bow storage and the driver storage. We ran the hose on the gas tank and came up right next the air vent.


SPBFAN has more pix he's just in a plane all week so.....

I think the reverse sccop is a good idea. Many people have done that mainly as some sort of strainer for the incoming water. Can you show some pics of where the pumps are mounted?

One of the pictures is where the lines go directly into the pumps. The other is the pump sitting directly behind the cup holders and speakers at the rear of the boat in the little nook off and away from the main part of the storage but a straight shot into the manifold. All the loose wiring you are seeing was not left that way. We were still in the set up faze when the pictures were taken, All of that was tied back and finished off neat and clean when we were done.

How much hose did you use and what size. You could have purchased 50 feet of the hose I used for $50. I think it should be fine though

I need to place an order with you for an item but the catalog shows an incorrect part number. I will shoot you an email tonight when I have all the correct details

We used 1" 1/4" wall thickness.
