WakeMAKERS Malibu PiggyBack Rear Factory Ballast Upgrade (2005-2011)
Details
Our Piggyback factory ballast upgrade will help you produce the perfect wakeboard and wakesurf wake behind your 2005-2011 Malibu Wakesetter.
DescriptionNew and Improved!
Our exclusive Malibu PiggyBack ballast upgrade solution has been completely re-engineered for far faster draining, and even easier installation.
Get the Wake You've Always Wanted
Unlock your boat's performance by adding over four times the capacity to the factory ballast system.
The factory rear hard tank in your boat currently holds 250 pounds of water. Our PiggyBack upgrade will allow you to add an additional ballast bag on top of the factory system for over 1,000 pounds of wake building capacity in each rear locker! Just imagine the improvement in the surf wake you'll see with that much additional weight.
A Perfect Fit For Your Malibu
Designed specifically for the boat they will be installed in, our PiggyBack upgrade systems are guaranteed to fit and perform perfectly.
Simple installation and a perfect fit is the goal with our factory upgrade solutions. Trust the experts that your system will work exactly as you expect, because it's made just for your boat. We always recommend getting the maximum capacity possible in each rear locker, as that will give you the ability to build the best wake, even if you don't use that full capacity every day.

Good but has some frustrating quirks
First I'm going to say I have gotten two of these and isntalling them was not as easy as they say. I averaged about one and a half hours installing one. Also if you are planning to fill them fully you will need the divider supports. Figured that out the hard way as we were filling it we blew a divider panel as it was filling. The thing that makes me the most angry about these so far is that the fittings for the bag cross thread very easily. I do not know exactly why they do this but now I have cross threaded it three times now! Other then that they fill and work great.
