    Default Moomba Max ballast question.

    I know the Max is advertised to have 3000lbs of factory ballast but how is that distributed around the boat?

    I know the rear has 2 fat sacs and I can see a fat sac through a small cutout under the floor toward the middle of the boat. It is right in front of the access panel for the t-handle center drain plug.

    Is there a front tank? How much do the bags hold?

    I don’t think it matters but I have AutoFlow 2.0, Autowake, and the G6 ballast pump system (6 pumps).

    900lbs in each rear, 700lbs in center and 500lbs in the bow. Bow and center are plumbed together with 2 pumps and the rear bags are plumbed with 2 pumps each.

    Thank you very much. Is the bow ballast a tank? From what I saw the center is a fat sac.

    I have a Mojo on order and from what my dealer said, the bow is a sac and the center is a tank. The mojo has 3000lbs stock ballast also and I was told it's divided up the same way. Great looking boat, hope you enjoy it.

    I'm not 100% but with the front ballast sub floor does that mean it's now hard tanks up there?

    I can actually see a bag under the floor in the center. Not sure about the bow.

    Interesting! I'm going to have to take a close look at the local dealer.

    Get down and look forward in the center drain cover area.
