New to me 2007 XLV - Ballast pump setup

[Stazi]

Suck gate = surf gate = wake shaper???
Mission delta the way to go?

Mission Delta is a rip off. So many other cheaper options out there.

+1 on that. My buddy over on the Supra forum bought a Inland Curl (?eBay ?) for $130/140. Does not fall off the 242 hull. He just posted some pics.

Build one for cheaper with a suction handle, cutting boards, ss screws, and some time.

They all do the same thing - delay convergence off the back of the boat.

Got out today. The ballast system worked perfect. Pretty slow. Found the rule was replaced by a pyrana 800 or 1100, cant tell without taking it out. Think Im gonna get some 1100 or 1200 and some new through hulls in a litte. Overall the electric ball valves were perfect.
I've got my wakemakers bagbuster 1150s coming in soon. Ill see how patient I can be with those fill times.

Goods weeks worth done and water tested. Got the new stereo deck installed and working with the remotes, got the bimini top fixed, fixed leak in front ballast that was flooding my bilge with new pyrana 800. Slight hesitation as times on throttle. Thought might be bad gas or low octane. Addressed that, still a problem. Ordered fuel filter. Got my amp, sub and tower speakers going in soon.

Fill time pushing 20 minutes with factory bags. Got reversibles and individual thru hulls in, wakemakers 1140s in the back. Can't wait to get out.20171003_174133.jpg

I’m about to install the exact same pump kit in my 07 XLV. Any chance you could snap pics of where you put the 2 new thru hulls?

Anything surprising about the install you that you wish you had known?

Here's where I put mine. It is working for me. They are out of the way of pretty much everything.

Starboard


Port. The one with the yellow handle is the fresh water intake valve for cooling I just added.

Here is where I put my pumps. Keeps everything out of the way of the engine compartment. Yup I know they are upside down. Been fine for four seasons now.

Port



Starboard

I'll take pics tomorrow. I installed the thru hulls on the right (starboard) side in almost exactly the same location. pretty easy install. drilled 2 holes from the battery compartment into center hold, then into helm to run the battery harnesses. the wakemakers setup was fantastic. The only hitch I had was tightening the bronze thru hull, spun a little tightening down.
I used the existing drain tubing as overflow with check valves, had to extend to the top of the bags. I used the extra 3/4 tubing and fittings from the fill lines. Kept with the existing 3/4 lines for the center as well. didn't think it was worth pulling floor up.
