This wakeboard ballast package is designed specifically for integration into existing automated ballast systems. Because of that it includes the necessary fittings for correct integration with 3/4" hose, but does not include any additional fittings. If you have questions about correctly integrating this system,

Our TankBuster upgrade package is the easiest and quickest way to transform the wake of your Mastercraft wakeboard boat. If you're wakesurfing, this upgrade is a must in order to get the best possible wake, and it's all completely automated and controlled from the dash, in addition to your factory system.
Add up to an additional 1,100lbs. of ballast to your wakeboard boat's factory ballast system with our exclusive TankBuster Factory Ballast System upgrade. Interested in adding more ballast to your boat for surfing, but don't want to mess with throwing pumps over the side of the boat? The WakeMAKERS TankBuster 750 Wakesurf Ballast System is designed to integrate with your factory ballast system, be controlled using the switches on your dash, and not required any additional effort to fill and drain.
How It Works
The Mastercraft TankBuster Ballast System Upgrade takes the place of the existing factory hard tank installed in each rear locker of certain Mastercraft (see applications below) wakeboard boats. Once installed, the new Fly High Pro X Series ballast bag is controlled completely from the driver's seat, and uses the factory pumps and plumbing. Everything functions exactly the same as it did from the factory, but you've greatly expanded the factory of the system. Additionally, when the bags are empty, the entire rear locker is available, dramatically increasing the amount of storage space for gear and equipment. This kit includes everything needed for the installation, including a new ballast bag and the necessary Fly High quick connect fittings.
Once installed, the ports on the new ballast bag are connected to the fill/drain and vent hoses from the factory ballast system, making the Mastercraft TankBuster a direct upgrade for the factory ballast system. For convenience, Fly High Quick Connect fittings are used allowing you to easily remove the bag for cleaning, storage or winterization. Triple the capacity, double the storage space, all controlled using the factory dash switches makes the TankBuster the perfect ballast upgrade.
Installation
The installation process is incredibly simple, completely reversible, and only has to be done one time to use the TankBuster system. Removing the factory tank and installing the new TankBuster bag typically takes a couple of hours to do both sides of the boat, so plan on leaving yourself and afternoon for the project.
Step 1: Locate and identify fill/drain connection at the bottom of the factory tank and the vent hose at the top of the factory ballast tank. The fill/drain hose will come from down in the bilge of the boat, while the vent hose will go directly from the ballast tank to a fitting in the side of the boat.
Step 2: Remove hose clamps securing the factory fill/drain and vent hoses to the hard tank located in the rear compartment.
Step 4: Remove factory "L" brackets used to secure ballast tanks to the floor of the boat.
Step 5: Remove the factory hard tank from the boat and retain in a convenient storage location.
Step 6: Insert pre-assembled vent hose extension into the factory vent hose and secure with the provided hose clamp.
Step 7: Insert the supplied quick connect fitting into the end of the factory fill/drain hose and secure with the supplied hose clamp.
Step 8: Secure the Quick Release connectors on the ends of the fill /drain hose and vent hose extension to their appropriate connections on the new ballast bag.
Step 9: Test system for correct, leak-free, operation and enjoy the dramatic increase in wake size.
