Im finally getting around to completing my ballast install and was looking for suggestions on where to drill the second thru hull on the boat. Im going to take the aerator pumps out and use a reversible in its place and then have a second reversible pump to fill/drain the ski locker and bow bag. Any help would be appreciated.

This is what mine look like in my 01. They are port side of the vdrive/transmission. There are not many options to put extra holes in your boat. I believe the single inlet is the stock location of the ballast intake. -
Thanks for the suggestion, that will probably be where I will place mine. Thanks againComment

Just completed the project this weekend. I replaced the aerator pumps and added a Johnson pump using the original thru hull to fill the rear bags. I then drilled a new thru hull and added another Johnson pump for the ski locker and bow sack. I then used a directional flow valve to switch from the bow and ski locker sack. If anyone else is planning on doing this it wasn't that bad. If anyone needs advice on a similar setup let me know. Disclaimer: it hasn't been water tested but it looks good on paper. Thanks again Seth for the photo.Comment

No problem. Does the directional flow valve allow both to be open at the same time? On my system I put a shutoff valve to the bow and locker sac. That way I can run them together or independently.Comment
