New 1100's and bow sack shipped today! Whoop!
Hy, I have some pictures of my ballast installation (same setup as wolfeman)
Here is a maybe better picture of the Boshworth valve :

And I add this valve inline with the fill of the 370lbs under the seat so I don't have to disconnect any thing :

And here are some pictures of my ACME 1235 installation (I was today) and I will test it tomorrow !
I hope it is better than stock because the size and pitch are almost the same (14.5 vs 14.25) :

Drifter, they should be here Tuesday.
trmaggie98, I'm sure you will enjoy with these ballast !! But You will probably change the prop due to extra weight...
For my 2012 mojo the stock prop was 14.25" x 14.5" and the ACME 1235 is a 14.5" x 14.25" so quite the same. I would choose the ACME 2079 with 12" of pitch ! I will try my prop today, hope it's better otherwise I will go for the 2079 and sell my 1235. Give you feedback tomorrow.
One more thing, I was always wakesurfing with a lower speed than everybody (same boat, same ballast...) so I checked the speed with a GPS and it was wrong. The display was about 2mph lower than real speed! So I was at a correct speed when wakesurfing (about 10-11 mph) so I adjust the displayed speed with the menu -> adjust paddlewheel or something like that and now it's fine
Gurt, did you glue the fittings into your fat sacs? Mine spin and spin and don't seem to tighten. Did you use pliers or just tighten by hand?
Thanks,
Hy, no I didn't glue the fittings. I just tighten by hand but it spin also. The fittings on the stock ballast were glued by the ex-owner. I will glue them I think because water flows by the vent when full.
About the prop, the result is good now with the ACME 1235 ! with the stock prop, I could wakesurf without problem with the ballast full (~3k) but I had some vibrations and the boat was not really able to go faster than wakesurf speed. The wave look better with the ACME prop (or it is psychologic...)
