Need help adding ballast to 2010 SAN 210

[Matttolton]

I need some advice on what ballast sacks to put where. As of right now, I'm thinking about a 750lb factory ballast upgrade sac in each of the rear lockers and a 500lb sac in the bow. Would this be too much on top of the already built-in 900lb hard tanks? Would another weight distribution work better? I'm trying to get the biggest wake I can for primarily wake boarding.

Thanks!!

The weight is right on for what you looking at adding. You can do it two ways.

You can get the piggy back kits from wake makers. They will just tie right into your factory system. A very simple job. You can get 900's on top of the tank of you ever are thinking surf. But you won't be able to fill them all the way for boarding.

Option two
Remover the rear hard tanks and throw 1100's back there. You can a crap ton of storage, if you trailer a lot it gives you twice the room to stow gear and other things because when the bags are empty that entire area is wide open. Again can't fill the 1100's full for boarding but you can if you want to surf. I had nothing but issues with my bro stock sumo fittings. I know I am not the only one. I tend to take my bags in and out more often than most as I am little ocd, the o-ring in the Sumo's could not handle the on and off multiple times. It shredded on both bags. Wake
Akers sent me replacements, but a reason I would never by SL bag again.


Little more involved to remove the tanks, but the install for the bags is same as it would be for piggy back. It's a simple plug and play ( well add in few quick connect fittings on ends of hoses) after the tank removal.


I run around 400 piggy backed off the center tank, 320lbs of pop bags in the nose, the 1100's filled between 2-3button pushes on my ballast timers. If boats empty it's 3, if I have more than 4 people it's (2). Ride at 23.5 MPH '. This is my wakeboard setup with the1617 prop.

Here is my step by step.

Thanks so much for your feedback, I'll definitely take all these options into consideration. I really appreciate it. Cheers

i took the hard tanks out of mine and put 750's in the back. wish i had of put 900 or 1100 as there is heaps of room when the 750 is full.enough to store vests rope ect with full bags.when they are empty you can fit 2 boards in each locker and vests ropes , whatever you want. it ended up being reall easy to get the hard tanks out when you do it the right way. 20min each side mainly undoing fittings and hoses. plus you don't get the suction from the bag into the tank when your emptying. but either way will get you sorted.
