01 210 ballast?

[boutwell_43]

I have a 01 210 super air. I just got the boat. I have the stock rear tanks. I was wondering if someone could tell me were the pumps are? Also I just bought the fly high integrated bow sack. I did not want to deal with the aggravation of plumbing it in so I just got the fly high pump. I saw that some people put the fly high v-drive sacks over there rear tanks with the piggy back kit. Would the bow sack be enough to level it out if i put the rear sacks over my hard tanks? And would I need to change my prop? If so what size? I have the stock prop now. Thanks for any info.

RE: 01 210 ballast?

Ill just say this now, so nobody else has to. Rip those stock tanks out and put ballast puppys in and a fly high system, you will be stoked on it!! Back to your question, Im not sure about the pumps because my pumps and tanks in my 01 were already gone when I got it. I think you will have to run the integrated bow sac on top of your bow seats with that much weight in back and it still may porpoise. A sac for your ski locker would balance it out. I run about 3000lbs in my boat and the stock prop just did not cut it. I got the Acme 1236 and it is a great prop.

^^ x 2 ^^ for Jabscos and bags.

You have aerator pumps for your tanks. My 99 had them along the stringer and under the engine. Yours may be there or in recesses on the sides or under your tanks. You are not going to piggybacking anything off of those pumps. They are Attwood bilge pumps.

the pumps are right next to the starter. there are 2 in a row. ones the fill and the others the drain. they are white atwwoods if im not mistaken.

my question is why you would want more ballasts in this boat?? werent you having problems going W2W w/ just sock filled?

Which brings up an interesting point. I would bet that 90% or more of riders don't need to add ballast to this boat in order to wakeboard, kneeboard, or foil. I learned most of my inverts behind a 89 and a 90 SN with a couple sandbags in it. I cannot board anymore anyway, but put my ballast in for the surf wake.
Big wakes don't compensate for lack of fundamental ability. They make crashes harder, and wreck the lake unnecessarily.

I was just curious, I have some friends that ride with me that throw some whirly birds, tantrums, etc. I was wanting to know where the pumps are because this thing is slow. Would def. like not to have to waite 20min for the stock tanks to fill. (Airhuck)And yes it was a big difference in the wake I was used to with my supra. But it doesnt take long to get used to it. The reason I would want to put more ballast in it is because my friends dont have a boat, and they want to pay for the ballast to go in it. I am no where near the ridding level they are. But if it is free why not?

Search this site for ballast installs and you will be amazed. Here are several threads that will lead you in the right direction. Even has parts numbers for all the goods....

The pumps are in the bilge area on the port side of the engine. You will see them along the stringer. Mine are no longer installed or I would take a pic. Look for 2 white pumps in series.

A free bag system sounds great to me.

Stock balast is only 400# on a 01 SAN. Tell them to get you pair or V-drive sacks to put on top of the stock system for now and see if you like it. Then next year you will be drilling and mounting thru hulls and jabsco pumps. Have fun

hey, free is my favorite price.....MNSuperAir said it best. buy some 350-400# v drive sacs and try it out.
