Im trusting you guys on this Im ordering these valves and shipping them all the way to Hong Kong!
Wow, I am surprised that you had them sent that far!!! Tazz is right, none of these valves we have been discussing have been tested in the water. I am hoping that the low pressure of simply driving the boat does not start some type of syphon effect where you can not stop the ballast from filling. I have only tested my valves in the driveway on a make shift saw horse test. What size pump are you running, the volume and pressure of your pump may not be enough to open these types of valves. I had excellent results with a 2000gph pump in the driveway, but again, this has not been tested on the lake.
