Ballast Retro Fit

[jordancox83]

I have a 2002 210TE and I want to retro fit the shut offs for the ballast to be under the dash where they are in the newer boats. Does anyone know a easy way to do this?

RE: Ballast Retro Fit

The valves you are talking about have been ditched since 2006. Why dont you just change to the modern style reversible pumps and not have any more valves to worry about?

My setup is right now is one button to control all 3 ballast. The new boats have 3 buttons and shut offs under the driver dash. I don't care about the buttons but if I could plumb it so that I have 3 shut offs under the dash that way when I want to fill certain tanks I can. It's a pain in the *** to lift the floor to turn off and on the shut offs especially when you have a sac in the middle.

Ditch the valves altogether. The pumps are your valves. Personally, I prefer to eliminate the factory pickups and just have intakes in the transom for each pump.
