Ballast Set-Up

[joelhern2]

I am considering plumbing in the ballast for next season. I have V-drive (91 Barefoot Nauti) and I am curious to see what the best set-up would be? Required equipment and parts? I would like to just flip a swithc and fill/empty the sacs/tanks.

Also, would I be able to use my existing sacs and rig them somehow to stay in place?

I used the same set-up for my SS, works great just added one extra sac for the bow.

I want to add a few things i didnt see listed in the link above. For sacs you should use the Fly High Pro X Series. They have 3 fill/empty holes and do not need an external protective liner. For hose make sure you use 1 " inside diameter to allow for higher flow volume. When you wire the pumps it is critical you use the pump manufacturer recommendation for wire guage and length to get the maximum flow from the pumps. Thanks, Jon
