2014 - Current 210 divider panel question

[ScooterMcgavin]

I have a 2014 210 with pro-ballast and went ahead and picked up some WakeMakers exact fit rear bags to swap out. My question is for anyone with a 2014 and up 210 that had the pro ballast option and upgraded to the exact fit bags from Wakemakers do I still need to reinforce my divider panels more? Looks like with the pro ballast option you already get some reinforcement, I’m just wondering if I need to add more?

I would think that should be sufficient.

I have an 08 with 1110’s in the rear and I only have the stock divider that I reinforced with a single L channel on the bottom amd it works great. If you start to notice some severe bowing for the divider , then get the kit.

Mine bowed in with the wakemakers exact fit bags. I ended up bending the bracing back, and cutting some osb to put in between the divider and hard tank, and never had an issue after that.

Ok thanks for the response guys, Zigs did your boat have pro ballast and have that brace going horizontal like in the pic above? And it still bowed?

With the 650's, mine bowed in about an inch on the 230, but I think it's because the panels weren't seated all the way at the bottom, so it lost that horizontal support on the bottom edge.

Yes mine had pro ballast before. I think if the wakemakers bags were able to be zip tied in the corners like the factory bags maybe they would be alright, if they were exactly where they should be placed but I don't know. Both sides of mine bowed one side was a lot worse than the other that is probably due to normally running starboard side at 75-80 percent and pretty was usually 100 full. I did have zero issues the next two years with a piece of osb in between.
