WakeMAKERS 2015-2020 Nautique G23 Rear Factory Ballast Upgrade
Item: S171781
WakeMAKERS exclusive Factory Ballast Upgrade Kits are built and designed to unleash your boat's full potential. It takes more than stock ballast to achieve the wake you've always desired. A better wake is proven to make for a more enjoyable wakesurfing and wakeboarding experience.
Our aftermarket ballast solutions increase the overall capacity of your boat's factory ballast system for improved performance while keeping the convenience of controlling all ballast with the switches at your dash. The ballast bags included in your Factory Ballast Upgrade are integrated into your boat's existing ballast system for automated filling/draining.
This upgrade kit "piggybacks" the included WakeMAKERS FIT Series ballast bags in this kit that are placed in the rear lockers on top of the factory hard tanks. The additional ballast bags are integrated into the rear factory ballast tanks for an automated fill/drain process using the existing pumps, hoses, and switches. With the PiggyBack system installed, once the factory hard tanks are full, excess water flows into the WakeMAKERS ballast bag and begins to fill it. Once the additional ballast bag is full (which means the factory hard tank is full), excess water flows out of the bag's overflow line and through the factory thru-hull fittings, allowing the system to function exactly the same as the stock setup. Draining is exactly the opposite; as the factory drain pump removes water from the hard tank, gravity forces water out of the WakeMAKERS bag and into the hard tank until both the tank and bag are empty. Your Nautique's ballast system functions exactly the same as the stock setup but with an increased capacity for better wake results.
The WakeMAKERS FIT Series ballast bags included in your kit is specially chosen for your year, make, and model Nautique boat to achieve the optimal fit. Our team of ballast experts have dug in the boats, measured the rear lockers, and selected the proper fitting FIT Series bag so that you get the best results. A better fitting ballast bag helps to maximize the bag's capacity, make an easy installation process, and ensures a smooth fill/drain process.
The rear zone of the boat is the most important spot for additional weight, helping to increase the size of your Nautique's wake. Get ready for more fun wakeboarding and wakesurfing this Summer with the WakeMAKERS exclusive Nautique PiggyBack Factory Ballast Upgrade.

Don't want to do a self-install and would rather take your boat to a professional? These upgrades can be completed by your local WakeMAKERS certified boat service center.
