How-To: Remove Fittings Cemented Into Fly High Ballast Bags

Posted by Jason on Aug, 09 2010

Once the fitting has been removed both it and the port on the bag are undamaged and ready for reuse.

We sell a lot of Fly High wakeboard ballast bags, and many times customers are using them to replace smaller capacity sacs that came in their boat from the factory. Most customers want to reuse those factory bags elsewhere in the boat with a Tsunami wakeboard ballast pump}, but unfortunately the fittings used on those factory bags are typically cemented in place when they are made, which makes it much more difficult to replace them with the Quick Twist Adapter for use with the Tsunami pump. Although it is possible to remove fittings after they have been cemented in place the process is not something most of our customers want to deal with.

Read on for step-by-step instructions on removing fittings that have been cemented into Fly High wakeboard ballast bags.

We Have a Special Offer For Tigé Wakeboard Boat Owners!

Posted by Jason on May, 21 2010

Fly High called us the other day to ask if we would be interested in buying some custom bags they had made that a customer had decided not to use. We said sure, why not, send them our way. Imagine our surprise when the box arrived tucked in among one of our shipments, and we opened it to find these custom made Tige bow ballast bags. When they said their customer wasn’t interested it never crossed our mind that their customer might be the company that built your boat!

So if you’ve got a Tige Z1 these custom bow bags are perfect for you. If you’ve got another boat with an open bow, then chances are they’re perfect for you too, especially if you’re into surfing. Having a single custom bag made to these dimensions would easily cost $400 due to the shape, but since we got them for a deal we’re passing the savings on to you.

Add two of these bags to the bow of your boat and you’ll have a fully integrated setup that excels for surfing, is great for wakeboarding, and won’t break the bank. Plus, you’ll still have your center storage area available for your anchor.

HOW TO: Reversible Pump Automated Ballast System Design

Posted by Jason on Aug, 04 2009

Impeller Pump Ballast System

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!
