Save Big On Wakeboard Ballast For A Limited Time!

Posted by Jason on Oct, 27 2009

On Sale Wakeboard Ballast
How does saving over $100 on a Fly High Pro X Series ballast bag sound? We just received a shipment of factory 2nd ballast bags and pumps direct from Fly High and we’re discounting them big to make your winter project budget stretch just a little further.

Included in the savings are some Fat Sacs, V-Drive Sacs, Rear Seat Sacs, and even some Inboard Surf Sacs and an Enzo Sac (there’s only one of those, so get on it). We’ve also got a whole slew of Tsunami Ballast Pumps that are deeply discounted. These savings are first come-first served, so head over and take a look if you’re up for getting double the ballast for your dollar.

If you have any questions about what ballast might be best in your boat, feel free to contact us.

Launch Pad Uber Pumps In Stock

Uber Pump Connection Link Hose Connection Traditional valve

Finally, we have the Launch Pad Uber Pumps in stock. The Uber Pump uses the Link system which is the easiest and cleanest portable ballast system on the market. The Link System uses a spring-loaded valve on the bag to create an air and water-tight seal, even when the cap is off! It’s easy to use because a LPL nozzle is located on both the hose and Uber pump, twisting it into place opens the valve automatically for filling and draining, without spilling water into the boat. This feature is built in to every Launch Pad Ballast Bag and Launch Pad Sumo Sac.

HOW TO: Reversible Pump Automated Ballast System Design

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!

At least a few times a week we have someone ask “what is the difference between more expensive ballast pumps like Jabsco’s Ballast Puppy and the cheaper bilge pump style options?”. Since choosing a pump is the main determinant for ballast system design, we thought it would be a good idea to put together a guide that helps make this process easier and less time consuming.

Read on to learn more about ballast pumps, and which type is best for your wakeboard ballast system.
