That looks awesome. It looks like I might have to so the same mod. This past weekend, was the first time I used the ballast. Yes the first time guys. It was a pain in the arse. This mod just might be the ticket. Great mod Cab. It really looks nice. Also, I noticed in your pictures that the hole you cut was much nicer than the hole that SC cut. When I removed the black cover under the driver seat, the cut was all over the place. Nice work.

Thanks Tazz. Regarding the hole, SC (and the dealer) could care less about what the hole looks like if it's not visible. It's all economics - they could spend the extra time to make sure the cut outs are all perfect but that would add to the cost of the boat, and I don't think anyone wants to pay extra to have nice cut outs that are covered up anyway. I tried to follow my template as closely as I could but didn't worry about making the cut out perfect since I knew that the switch plate would cover it.
I highly recommend the mod - didn't take long and it may save me burning out a pump one of these days since the switches are now visible.

Ballast Switches
Nice job!! I have an 05 Mobius lsv and installed my own rear ballast system but used radio shack switches temporarily. I will locate them to underneath the wake gauge there is just enough room for 2 switches. I will leave the factory single ballast bag switch for the ski locker bag. Jim .

Cab13367,
That looks good. Now what you should do with the hole is put in another set of switches to control lights on the tower and in the boat. You could also install a switch that helps your boarder into the cold Oregon water.

Cab I'm pulling this back up from the dead but what did you ever find to cover your empty hole?

Ok thanks Mike. I bought a carbon fiber plate from McMaster-Carr to cover it for now until I figure something else out.

I love McMaster-Carr. I swear they got everything. Ordered Stainless "D" ring pins from them for my swim platform. Couldn't find them in town.
