Mastercraft PiggyBack Open Bow Ballast System

Add an additional 650lbs. to the bow of your Mastercraft wakeboard boat with our exclusive PiggyBack Open Bow Ballast System. Interested in adding more ballast to your boat for wakeboarding or surfing, but don't want to mess with throwing pumps over the side of the boat? The WakeMAKERS PiggyBack Open Bow Ballast System is designed to integrate with your center factory ballast tank, be controlled using the switches on your dash, and not required any additional effort to fill and drain.

How It Works
The PiggyBack Open Bow Ballast System is designed to make use of the existing Jabsco Ballast Puppy pump, hoses and switches in your wakeboard boat, to expand the capacity of your factory ballast. This kit includes everything needed for the installation, including a Fly High Pro X Integrated Bow Sac and the necessary Fly High quick connect fittings.

As the name implies, this Ballast System Add-On is connected inline with the overflow of the center or belly factory ballast tank, allowing it to PiggyBack on the factory system. In the factory configuration when the in-floor hard tank is full excess water is dumped overboard through the vent hose. With the PiggyBack system installed, excess water from the hard tank flows into the Fly High ballast bag, allowing it to fill after the factory tank is full. Once the new bag is full (which means the factory tank is full), excess water will flow out of the overflow of the bag, and through the factory thru-hull fittings, allowing the system to function exactly the same as the stock ballast setup, but with the additional capacity of the 650lb. ballast bag.

Draining is exactly the opposite; as the factory drain pump remove water from the tank, gravity forces water out of the Fly High bag and into the hard tank until both ballast bag and tank are empty.

Installation
One simple and completely reversible change is required to install the PiggyBack system, and the entire process takes less than 20 minutes.
