2008 LSV ballast upgrade

[Lapham]

Hey Scott
when you upgraded your pump system, did you go to 1" system throughout? Did you put one pump per bag or use some sort of manifold system like what comes stock with the boat? I think the stock system is 3/4"... correct?
I'm thinking of upgrading my pump system this winter but completely new at this. Is it best to create a vent line for each bag?
Thanks for any info.

Stock lines back then were 3/4.

Then the std wakemakers upgrade system offered 1" on jabsco and johnson pumps.

Now they are a 1 1/8 on their king ballast pumps.

Vent lines work great on the upgraded system. One for each bag.

Mike - that’s a great prop! We can get into the weeds on whether you need a diff one but I’d keep checking oil level.

Of course now you’ve got me worried and I gotta do the same...

Upgrade your center ballast to this: it fits perfect!

Do you have the right prop? What’s the RPM you’re running to go 11mph? I’m running ~3200RPM at 11mph w 4000lbs but I have an ACME 2315 prop. At that same ballast I needed 3-400RPM more to get 11mph w my old ACME 1433.

How does that prop fit with on the trailer? We have an 06 lsv. Adding 1000lbs to each locker, stock 400, and a 750 ibs. Were thinking about that 1433 per wake makers recommendation.

I would do the 1847 over the 1433 and the 2315 over everything. On my 08 the 2315 has 1” clearance from trailer.

If you currently have 14.25” prop measure the clearance of your existing prop to trailer. The 15” is only going to add .375” I’m sure you’ll be fine. Just note you’ll loose quite a bit of top end. If that’s important to you the I would go with the 1847. If you already have a 14.25” prop just pay a prop shop $100 to pitch and cup your prop the 1847 specs and save yourself $350.

I have a 1433 that I’d happily sell you but I’d recommend the 2315 if you’re running that much ballast. Also, I didn’t lose that much top end with the 2315. Hull clearance should be totally fine. You may need shims for the trailer but they’re cheap and easy to install.

What if I were to try the 2419? Same size, the cup is different though.
