Increases the overall capacity of your Centurion’s ballast system with this TankBuster Factory Ballast Upgrade. Removes the factory hard tanks and replaces them with bigger, better fitting WakeMAKERS FIT Series ballast bags for an improved wake.
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.
Factory hard tanks that sit above the floor take up valuable space in the rear lockers and don’t hold enough weight to create the wake you desire. They are inefficient in that even when these tanks are empty, they take up all that space in your rear lockers. Our TankBuster Factory Ballast Upgrade solves this issue by removing the hard tanks and instead integrating WakeMAKERS FIT Series bags into your ballast system. This solution takes up far less space when the ballast is empty, making far more available storage space in your rear lockers.
Designed to directly integrate the provided WakeMAKERS ballast bags into your boat’s factory ballast system, you still get to enjoy the convenience and ease of use with automated fill/drain processes. You will use the same ballast switches at your dash to fill and drain the new ballast bags. Tripling the ballast capacity of the rear ballast in your Centurion boat, get ready to see a sizeable improvement in your wake’s size.
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.
Build A Better Wake
Stock ballast is not enough to get the results you want. Unleash your boat’s full potential with this WakeMAKERS exclusive Factory Ballast Upgrade, designed to improve your wake for a more enjoyable wakesurfing and wakeboarding experience.
Increase Ballast Capacity

Perfect upgrade kit!
This kit super simple to get installed. I replaced the factory hard tanks on a 2003 avalanche with this kit and it came with everything I needed to connect all the hoses. I didn't have to go looking for adapters or anything, they were all in the box :) As an added bonus, I now have the entire compartment to store stuff in when the bags aren't full. The bags are heavy duty and the seams look like they'll be lasting quite a while.

Excellent fit, great quality, fast shipping
I have a Centurion Avalanche C4 2007. My stock ballast was 209 lbs left and right side. I bought a ballast system update of 1100 lbs with Fly high.
There is no comparison between my stock ballast and the new one. The wave is HUGE and it makes a big difference to surf.
Very good product and great quality.
YOU have to change your factory ballast for a bigger one.... !!
The kits is very easy to instal and it has everything you need. -
