Stillcreek Posted July 31, 2020 Report Share Posted July 31, 2020 Is it possible to convert older (2015 f21) ballast tank to plug and play configuration? I’d like to add ballast bags and pump without drilling holes in the hull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really isn't hard, first holes the hardest mentally after it's like drilling anything else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stillcreek Posted August 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2020 Thanks Racer. Would I be drilling into ballast tanks, hull or both? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will depend on how you configure your system. If you go with reversible pumps you'll drill one hole per pump in the bottom of the hull for a fill and drain plus one hole per pump above the water line for a vent. If you configure it to drain above the water line you'll need two pumps per bag and you'll need to drill an additional hole above the water line.

Josh Posted August 12, 2020 Report Share Posted August 12, 2020 I am thinking about doing this as well. Wakemakers has the reversables for $499each or this one for $999. https://www.wakemakers.com/supra-moomba-ballast-system-upgrade.html?gclid=EAIaIQobChMImsjGsLGW6wIVcT2tBh0gTAjYEAAYASAAEgL_jfD_BwE Would this be a viable option and just buy a set of switches or am i reaching here. In the description it says 3 pumps and so on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
