Ballast Upgrade
OK so finally finished some upgrades #1 was from the Gravity I to Gravity III.
I purchased (2) 400lb bags from a guy locally for $100 last September.
Purchased (2) 1100gph Rule pumps and 3 ballast switches from Ebay, fittings from Maxwake.com, 1" solenoid valves and manifold from Lowes and hose and clamps from local hose supply. After getting started I figured out the switches I purchased would not work so I ended up ordering 2 switches that match the OEM and replaced the covers.
I had the dealer drill and install the thru hull fittings to reduce my stress and maintain warranty. I ended up not running the hoses from the rear to hopefully reduce pressure drop and length (no run is more than 4'). Below are pictures and a diagram for wiring the switches.
You may also notice I opted to put the switches on the dash rather than add another panel, to do this I had to mount the courtesy light switch under the dash. I don't use it much anyway.
Now I just need to lake test :)

Ah, yes. Love the switches. Handy and great looking.

Thanks guys, I don't understand why you are not seeing the pics. I put them into the album and post on board with the [img]picture address[/img] thing.

I can see the photo's and must say a good job done there.

Nice looking install, I like your attention to detail!
-
No problem seeing the pictures. I like the switches on the dash rather than down on the side. Much easier to see and get to.

I cannot view them w/ windows explorer but I can see them w/ mozilla.
Same deal with Birdmans LED upgrade post. I dont know what the deal is.
Nice work man! looks great.

Weird, I'm on Internet Explorer and I can see the images just fine.
I absolutely love your install, very close to what I'd like to do in my boat when I add front ballast. I like the idea of everything plumbed into the boat and not messing with pumps and all that. Two thumbs up!!!
