850 is what it comes with from factory or was this system aftermarket? If you have any pictures of the tank and switches, like where their located can you post them or PM them to me. I am interested in seeing that.

If you can only fill the ballast on the side your surfing on, then add lead or more water weight. Try it out about 11 mph then if you have lead move it around till you can dial it in. Good luck. My pictures earlier in this thread are of no weight, just the people that felt like moving out of their seat to move to one side while everyone else stay under the bimini.

Good Luck

Cool thanks. Are your switches all independent from each other? Or does one switch fill up both back bags? Try weighting down the back rear of the side you will be wakesurfing. If both ballast in the rear fill with the flick of the switch, then try adding additional weight to one side with water ballast and moveable weight like lead to find your desired wake.
