Installation Instructions

Bag Compatibility
The entire line of WakeMAKERS ballast bags are designed to be Direct Connect compatible with the Complete Reversible Pump Ballast System. From our WakeMAKERS UniversalFIT Rear Ballast Bags to our WakeMAKERS CustomFIT Ballast Bags, we are sure to have the right ballast bag for your needs. 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
If you choose the WakeMAKERS Premium Reversible Pump option we include 1" fill/drain hose assemblies and 3/4" Vent/Overflow hose assemblies. With the Jabsco King Pump, the Vent/Overflow hose and thru-hull fitting are upgraded to 1-1/8" size to support the additional volume this pump is able to deliver.
Timer Module
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(s), causing them to automatically shut off when finished filling/draining. This helps to prevent possible damage to the pump and/or impeller. We include a timer module for each zone, or pump, that you select automatically.

2001 SAN Double Ballast Upgrade
Bought two (2) King Ballast pump systems along with Wakemaker Universal Fit Bag Busters to replace hard tank factory ballast. The installation was not diffucult, and we added a second ballast intake at the bottom of the boat. The pumps are fast and fairly quiet. Would buy again and again! Great upgrades to the boat, with the new monster wake for both surfing and wakeboarding.

Great system.
This complete system is great. The instructions were easy to follow. I used one system to fill two bags and had to buy a few extra pieces, which is expected. It's a little intimidating with the first instruction of drilling a 1" hole in the bottom of the boat, but it worked great. If I had one minor critique it would be to not have the vent hose made with the backflow preventer. It can easily be installed by the installer and located better when installed.

Save time and automate your boat!
After 3 summers of tossing the tsunami pump in the lake to fill the bags, we decided to upgrade. Our prep time went from 20 minutes to about 8. The best part is the ability to fill ballast while under way from the dock to the surf spot. Fast fill and drain times make setting up to surf a breeze. We surf more now because the process is so easy.
We have a 1994 Mastercraft VRS 225. It can be daunting drilling holes in your boat. But after the first one, the rest go quick. The longest part of the install was figuring out where to put the thru hull intakes and valves. Just make sure to look for clearances and measure twice, cut once!
Fish tape helps run the electrical wires where they need to go. With this system there is no cutting and splicing wires together. Everything just clicks together.
Pumps are a bit louder than I imagined, but not obnoxious. Loving it so far!!

Great system!
This system looks like plug n play system that come in new boats. It has pretty much everything you need. It does take a long time to install properly, I would say closer to 10 hrs to install. I did 3 systems.

Perfect Kit for a DIY'er
Got tired of throwing a Tsunami pump over the side of the boat to fill 3 bags for surfing in addition to the stock ballast on my Malibu VLX. I ordered 3 of these systems and 2 Bosworth y-valves to have the ability to fill up to 5 sacs if needed.
Install was a lot easier than expected with the help from the Wakemakers staff, even for someone who has never done anything like this before or would even think about drilling thru a boat. The kits have just about everything you need and definitely has plenty of hose and wire for wherever you decide to place the pumps and sacs in the boat. The first kit, which I installed the bow first, took the longest due to fear and lack of experience but the 2nd and 3rd kit went remarkably fast. Any future boats I own will have systems, my days of manually filling are done!
