2010 Supra Boats Ballast System Overview
Posted by Jason on Mar, 09 2010
For 2009 Supra redesigned their factory ballast system to make use of Jabsco Ballast Puppy Reversible wakeboard ballast pumps, which offered a dramatic upgrade over their previous system. For 2010 they’ve gone one step further and integrated the ballast system functionality into their new in-dash LCD display, the V.I.S.I.O.N system.
The great thing about the new system for 2010 when it comes to adding additional ballast is that the duration the pumps run for when filling and draining is now user configurable right from the dash. That means you can replace the factory wakeboard ballast bags in your 2010 Supra wakeboard boat with larger versions, and simply adjust how long the pumps run for to account for the increases capacity of the new bags.
We offer a number of upgrades for Supra owners, from individual bags for surfing, to the complete Gravity Games ballast system, and if with 2010 boats, it’s incredibly easy to upgrade.
Whether you’ve got a new Supra, or any other boat, contact a ballast expert for more information on the available products to upgrade your wake.
GALLERY: Fly High Mastercraft X-2 Ballast System Kit
Posted by Jason on Dec, 02 2009
If you own a Mastercraft X-2 and want to upgrade the factory ballast system for wakeboarding or wakesurfing, Fly High’s Additional Ballast System for Mastercraft X-2 wakeboard boats is one of the best options available.
This upgrade ballast system allows boat owners to easily increase the capacity of their onboard ballast while maintaining the functionality of the factory system. It’s been available for a while now, and thanks to a fellow Mastercraft owner that was nice enough to let us repost the images he took of his upgrade, we’ve got some additional pictures of what is involved in the install.
The complete kit includes everything that you need to complete the installation with the exception of basic hand and power tools, so there’s nothing extra to purchase. Once installed, the system allows you to select whether you would like to fill the factory hard tanks, the new additional bags, or both for the biggest possible wake. This flexibility gives you the ability to tailer the wake to nearly any shape and size for both wakeboarding and wakesurfing.
Check out the install pictures in the gallery below, and feel free to contact us if you have any questions about Fly High’s ballast systems for Mastercraft boats.
HOW TO: Reversible Pump Automated Ballast System Design
Posted by Jason on Aug, 04 2009
This seems to be a popular topic lately, both on the forums, and for our ballast experts on the phone, so we figured it would be beneficial to write a full guide on how to design a ballast system around a reversible impeller style ballast pump. As usual, there are multiple ways to accomplish the same goals, so this shouldn’t be taken as the definitive guide on ballast system installations, but rather a recommendation on how to install a fully functional system that operates correctly based on our years of experience. Feel free to deviate from these plans where you see fit, or contact us if you any questions.
With that out of the way, let’s move on to the good stuff!
