Ballast Upgrade

[Sea N' Things]

I will be adding a fourth switch and a fourth pump. Still not sure about boat upgrade. Dealer has a 2010 xlv at a good price.......rrrrrrrr get out of my head.

this is kind of a crude drawing... and its cabs boat not mine. The newer tanks have another channel that i marked with black lines... I split the main line in the left of the picture and hooked the ski locker bag to that split.. Then went to the front of the gas tank and split it again. Those lines run under the passenger console and driver console then come up thru the stock holes and plug into the bow sac... I then drilled another hole next to the ski locker vent and installed a second vent for the bow sac.... I didnt want to add any switches or more pumps.

the only negative is you cant fill one or the other, they are either both filled or both empty... But its sounds like you only get about 200lbs in the ski locker so to me that should always be filled anyway.. So for me i will always be riding with them both full unless there are enough people onboard..

thanks!
i assume this is one of the newer LSVs with the single line reversable pumps? ie the fill and drain lines are one in the same?

Yes, my system is the new single pump system.. Just used a pic of cabs boat for a diagram cause mine wasnt available

but i need 1" for 1" inner diameter hose right?

If you don't find the 1" you could make a 1 1/8" wye work no problem.

This is not teh one I ordered but another option. Cant see a good picture though, looks like it may have a couple of extra barbs:

this is the one I have, i am looking for the original place though. It was an aquarium shop and it was a little cheaper than these:

this may have been the place. I remember I got them for like 2.50 each.

im wondering if some inline manual valves after the first "Y" would be handy? i guess would have to be near the bag for access.
that way you could direct flow if you only wanted to fill one bag.

I was thinking about a valve system but it would kind of be a pain to to the bow sac ones because the are so far under the dash's.. it maybe be easy to do the ski locker one though..



here is a pretty small valve with barbs

here are some t fittings from flow rite with the quick connects. Not sure if you need T or Y.

I am adding a fourth valve with a new manifold to go direct to the bow sac.with a fourth switch.
