fly high/barefoot int. add on ballast

[gride300]

I was looking into their add on ballast. it seems pretty nice/simple. just hook the overflow into the sac and then vent it through the overflow outlet. i was wondering if anyone has installed this system. it does not say what year it was made for, and using v-drive sacs i was curious if it was made for the 07-08 versions b/c i have not seen if it has the same wedge shape rear tanks. i canot use the bow sac b/c i have a 3rd battery under the bow port seat. being that i already have a set of vdrive sacs i was wondering if these actually work well or if i need to get wedge sacs for the system.

I just got done installing on my 08 210 and the system works great. I bought the sacs and went to my local hardware store for fittings. They are not quick release fittings but I saved a lot of money doing it this way. The integrated bow sac can not fill up all the way because there is not enough room under the front seats. I may have a coustom bag made and put it under the hull.

fly high makes a system just for your boat. it includes a set of vdrive sacs, integrated bow sac, and a fat brick. all of which are controlled at the helm and you can move the brick around apparently. the quick connects cost 3.99 a piecex4 and then the sac connect is about the samex4. either way plumbing in the rear sacs makes life alot easier and less wet and im glad i got good advice on here.

I chose to do it the way I did because I did not need the fat brick. I don't think the fat brick gets plumbed into the boat. I believe with the fly high kit you get and additional pump, which I didn't need either. Anyway I am glad to have been a help and it is def. a good way to go.

just got off the lake. it was about 18mph wind and two jet ski's causing havoc on the lake but i stuck my 2nd toe off 5. i'm running factory ballast w/wedge sacs plumbed in, the integrated bow sac sitting on the bow seats, and 1 side sac just before the vinyl on the walk through plus about 180lbs of lead randomly placed depending on people. what a great wake.
