Anyone have the 255 Wake Edition?

Looking to install some pumps for my ballast and was wondering if someone could shed some light on how Scarab did the factory install (i.e. pump, drain, and vent placement and type of pumps)?

Thanks,
Jesse

Did yours came without the OEM system?

 

[FlyNavy76]

Yes. It's just an HOI. We've purchased bags and a pump to fill. I would love to convert it to a ballast system, but don't have the guts or all of the "know how" to do it.

It is a whole lot of work!! Not too mention some marine technology knowledge.

I'm not a afraid of work.

Fat Sac pump, wash down hose, and emergency bilge all in one.

I had something similar in my old Ski Nautique. Made filling the sacs super easy. Get an extra hose few feet long as a vent hose. To fill a sac just plug in the hose from the pump, connect the extra vent hose, and sit back while it fills. Once full it'll start pissing out the vent hose. Then just disconnect both hoses and move on to the next sac. Not as easy as having a fully plumbed in ballast system where you just hit a switch, but way cheaper, pretty painless to use and you get the wash down and emergency bilge.

How often do you go to PK? I'm over in Sportsmans World and go almost every weekend.

Awesome. Thanks txpilot. I'll take a look. We have four bags and one pump and I'd love to be able to just hit a switch.

We just go once or twice a year. It's a beautiful lake.

We live on Eagle Mountain Lake, so it's too easy to just go out on our lake every weekend.
