WakeMAKERS Complete Reversible Pump Ballast System
Item: S16740
Finally, it's here! The WakeMAKERS Complete Reversible Pump Ballast System is everything you need kit to add an automated ballast system to your boat. This system will fit the bill whether you're simply adding a bow bag in your brand new boat or looking to install an automated ballast system for several bags in your older model boat.
Our turnkey ballast system allows you to choose the pump you want to use and offers the option of adding our exclusive timer module to automate the run time of your pump. We've included all the components you need to install a single ballast zone designed to serve one ballast bag. If you're planning to fill more than one bag, we recommend dedicating one complete system for each ballast bag.
This complete ballast solution will have you ready to start enjoying the performance and convenience of automated filling/draining of the ballast bags in your boat.

Not sure which ballast bag is right for you and your boat? Our ballast experts are here to help you get set up with the bags that will fit your boat and budget.
Pumps
Choose from either the WakeMAKERS Premium Reversible Pump with its 12GPM rating or the Jabsco Ballast King Reversible Pump with its high output 15GPM rating.
Quantity
The number of ballast bags you wish to fill and drain will dictate how many complete systems you will need. We recommend purchasing at least one pump kit for each ballast bag you wish to fill and empty. This will replicate a factory setup and offer the very best performance.
Plumbing
Plumbing connections are optimized to ensure the best performance, while also balancing the ease of routing during installation. Enough hose is included for nearly all applications, so this really is designed to be a one-stop solution for everything you need.
Timer Module (optional)
The Achilles heel of reversible ballast pump systems has long been that they drain below the waterline, therefore making it difficult to know when to turn off the pump(s). Our new exclusive Timer Module solves that problem by giving you the ability to pre-set the run time of the pump, ensuring it will automatically shut off when finished when the fill or drain cycle is completed. This helps to prevent possible damage to the pump and/or impeller. Installation is simple and easy thanks to the Plug-and-Wake wiring system (and the Timer can be easily retrofitted at any point in time). Simply select "Include Pump Timer Module" when configuring your system to add the convenience and piece-of-mind to your new ballast system.
