    That looks like a good solution, but maybe a bit complicated for me.

    Is there an easy way to simply plug the tubes and remove the ballast bag?

    Thanks.

    Unwanted water in ballast.

    Hi. We have the Gravity I ballast bag in the back of our 2007 Outback.

    You should be looking at the back of the boat. This is in accordance with the whole counter-rotation business. The idea being that you shoulders stay relative square to the boat while your lower...

    Last month I spent about 5 hours installing the FAE. I hope I did it correctly, but it seemed to ruin my slalom wake and didn't make much of a difference to engine noise.

    I would say that an Outback DD with tower and ballast is still a pretty good wakeboard boat. I know for my weak wakeboarding skills, the wake is plenty big enough.

    Our gas gauge is also a wild guess. Better than running it dry, use the hour-meter and see how many hours you get between fill-ups.

    Oh man, that wake is big.

    Have a look at my wake in an Outback (please excuse the technique, I've been improving).
