I spent the last few months upgrading the ballast on my 04 216 Air Nautique. I was fed up with the stock pumps and hokey valve system. I installed 3 Jabsco ballast puppies, two 400 pound sacs in the rear, and 370 pound sac in the belly. Check out the pics, and I'd be happy to provide some insight for anyone about to tackle a similar project.
Part of the main computer module (i assume that is what it is, black box with lots of wires) is located in the rear locker of my 216. When i removed the stock ballast tanks, that resulted in a lower floor. So the stock plastic cover that was over the module was too short. I fabricated a new removable cover out of fiberglass and covered it with carpet.
