WakeMAKERS 2015-2020 Nautique G21 PiggyBack Front Factory Ballast Upgrade
Item: S244325
WakeMAKERS exclusive Factory Ballast Upgrade Kits are built and designed to unleash the full potential of your Nautique boat. It takes more than just the stock ballast to make your dream wake a reality. Through our Factory Ballast Upgrade the capacity of your boat's ballast system will drastically increase, creating a sizeable improvement in your wake. For a more enjoyable wakesurfing and wakeboarding experience, your boat needs a WakeMAKERS Factory Ballast Upgrade.
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.
The WakeMAKERS Mastercraft PiggyBack Factory Ballast Upgrade integrates aftermarket ballast bags with your boat's factory center hard tank. In the factory configuration when the center hard tank is full, excess water is dumped overboard through the vent hose. Once the PiggyBack system is installed, excess water from the hard tank flows into the bow ballast bag and allows it to fill to capacity. Once the additional ballast bag is full, excess water will flow out of the vent hose on the bag and through the boat's factory thru-hull fittings. Draining is exactly the opposite. The factory ballast pump for draining removes water from the tank and gravity forces water out of the ballast bag and into the factory hard tank until both the ballast bag and tank are empty.
The updated system is still controlled using the switches on your dash and functions exactly like the stock configuration. The only difference is an increase in the overall ballast capacity for an improvement in your wake's size.
Bow ballast is often forgotten about but equally important as ballast in other zones of the boat for creating a satisfactory wake. A balanced distribution of ballast throughout all zones of the boat creates a cleaner shaped wake that makes for better takeoffs and landings wakeboarding. In wakesurfing, more bow weight typically helps to lengthen out the wake, creating a bigger "sweet spot" or "pocket" where the rider can surf without the rope.
Every WakeMAKERS Factory Ballast Upgrade is designed to be a user-friendly DIY install that can be completed in your garage over the course of an afternoon. 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.
What's Included: Each WakeMAKERS Factory Ballast Upgrade includes the best fitting ballast bag(s) for your year, make, and model boat along with all the needed ballast hose and hardware to integrate into your boat's factory ballast system.

Plug N Play Technology
The WakeMAKERS Plug N Play Front Factory Ballast Upgrades add even more weight to boats equipped with the Plug N Play factory option.

This WakeMAKERS Factory Ballast Upgrade adds weight in the bow while keeping a clean look and still allowing passengers to sit in the bow of the boat. The result is a better wake with an improved shape and increased size, making for a more enjoyable wakesurfing and wakeboarding experience.
