Ballast timers??

[BrettLee3232]

Anybody know of ballast times for 900lb bags as well as the 750lb IBS bag?

Save me some fine tuning tomorrow

Rough numbers about a minute per 100 lbs. so 9 and 7.5 minutes

Sweet, thanks man!

Set the timer 10 or 12 mins. Use a stopwatch and fill them up. When ur full check your time. Now do the same with draining. Your time may be longer to drain.

JV's rule of thumb is pretty much spot on

8 minutes for my 750's is perfect.

don't worry about drain time - the pumps sense when water is not present and will shut down.

Is that a new feature. My pumps will run dry as long as the timer keeps running. The reason i say drain time is my ibs takes about 30secs longer to drain flat then to fill. I was curious what they have in the system that shuts pumps off when empty.

On Mine the pumps will shut off at the timer completion setting. It will auto shut off when draining at the timer stop setting.

On my dash if the % = 0 and I turn the pumps on to drain it will run for 1 minute then shut off. I have to toggle the button again.

I have also found that apx 1 minute per 100lbs is equal. This is also depend on voltage, if you are running the engine you will have more voltage and the pumps can run at max speed. If you run them when the engine is off, you have less voltage and they can go slower.

I have mine set to 9 minutes for 900 bag fill and 10 to drain it.
15 fill for 1500 and 16 to drain it.
5 to fill the hard tank and 5 to drain it.

I do find that to drain my hard tank completely the boat has to be on the trailer to the nose is tilted up.

How do you set separate fill and drain times?

"How do you set separate fill and drain times?"

Real good question.

I assume. Manually. In the menu For just hit my empty again for a 1 minute drain
