Max Center Ballast Question -Request

[flienlow]

Looking for pictures of through holes drilled in the max for center ballast. Trying to decided if I want the dealer to do it , or just do it myself.

Let’s see if this will work. Post #98 in my “murder max mods” thread is how I did it.

Side note: to get the midship bags to drain completely I have to get it on plane for the last 10% to let gravity help get the water back through the rear bags and to the pumps. I know some people have t’d off one of the rear bags fill/drain lines and ran it to the midship, and I think this, in combination with one hose connected between the two bags, may be the way to go.

So if I understand this. Instead of filling the mid bags through the rear, you would run 1 drain fill line to each bag?
I do have the 6 pump system so that may work well. I'm a bit unclear of the venting. dealer states we need to vent back to the rear bags.

Ideally (based on what my setup is doing) for drain/fill you will still have one hose that connects directly between the rear bag and midship bag (right now mine has two), and one that T’s into the rear drain/fill hose and goes to the midship bag. I’ll probably change mine over to this in the offseason since what I have is working fine, I just have to raise the bow to get the midship to fully drain.

I’m not sure about the vents for the 2019’s since they have a new setup I believe, but the midships will need to be vented somehow. Take some pics of the tops of the rear bags and any hoses connected to them and we can figure it out.

I saw your pics in the other thread, boat looks great, congrats!!!
