Our exclusive WakeMAKERS UniversalFIT Rear Locker Ballast Bags are making a splash in the industry and forever changing how boaters look at ballast bags. The team of product designers and engineers at WakeMAKERS agreed that a 'one-size fits all' approach that other brands are taking isn't good enough. Seeking a better ballast solution than standard sized bags, we developed our series of UniversalFIT ballast bags, designed for specific zones of your boat and offered in incremental sizes to give you better fitment and improved wake performance.
Ranging from 400 to 1,200 lbs. in size, the UniversalFIT Rear Locker bags allow you to choose the dimensions of the bag in 5" increments. The result is a much better fitting bag for your boat's rear locker, allowing you to fill to capacity and maximize added weight for the best possible wake. WakeMAKERS UniversalFIT ballast bags give you a nearly perfect fit without the expense of building a custom bag.
All WakeMAKERS ballast bags come standard with an industry-leading two year warranty. The bags are constructed of a DuraTEK, our proprietary material that is strong, durable, and puncture resistant. Once the material is cut, the bags are RF welded together with 1" seams to ensure a clean look and watertight seal. There are five 1" NPT ports on this ballast bag that feature a tapered thread pattern and bottom o-ring for a leak-free seal. The larger port size allows water to flow quicker for faster fill/drain times.
If you are shopping for ballast bags to put in the rear lockers of your v-drive boat, the WakeMAKERS UniversalFIT ballast bags are a no-brainer decision. From the quality craftsmanship to the innovative design, these ballast bags are built to deliver improved wakes behind your boat.
Sold individually as seen here, these bags are also included our WakeMAKERS exclusive Factory Ballast Upgrades that integrate the bags into your boat's factory ballast system for automated filling/draining. Use the dropdown tool to find available factory ballast upgrades for your year, make, and model boat.
You can also use our UniversalFIT Rear Locker ballast bags with a portable ballast pump or integrate them with a WakeMAKERS Complete Ballast System for automated filling/draining of the bags.
It took over 4 months to receive the order for the ballast bag. The description clearly states the fittings are 1” NPT but they do not fit any other NPT fittings so you can only use specialty fittings
These bags gave my xt 20 the extra weight it needed to give the wave that extra height and push
I have a Mastercraft NXT22 and had the plug and play bags previously. These are actually better. The ports are well designed for venting air and they fill 100%...no air pockets. Super easy to install. I had to do a little plumbing work on the hoses to fit the new bag port locations but it was super easy and wakemakers has the hose I needed as well. WakeMakers is a great business.
These bags were a great improvement over older water bed style Fat Sacks. Perfect fit and very sturdy product!
Looking for future bag bag purchase for center locker and bow. Top grade product!
We are happy to hear you like them and appreciate the review! Have a great summer on the water :)
The bags arrived within a week, easy to install and made a HUGE improvement to our wave! Plenty of push for guys over 250 lbs. I do recommend replacing your fill hose (6"-8") longer to prevent breaking the overflow fitting on the factory hard tanks.
