How It Works
The TankBuster System simply replaces your stock ballast hard tanks with new & larger fit custom bags.
The PiggyBack Ballast System expands the capacity of your factory rear ballast tanks by adding an additional bag that overflows fills from your factory ballast tank.
Key Features:
- Connects inline with the factory system using the overflow vent hose.
- Fills the additional ballast bag once the factory tank is full.
- Includes all necessary fittings, hoses, clamps, and pre-fabricated adapters.
- Features Fly High's Flow-Rite quick-connect system for easy bag removal during cleaning or storage.
Installation and Operation
In the stock configuration, when the in-floor hard tank is full, excess water vents overboard through the factory overflow. With the PiggyBack system, this overflow is redirected into the WakeMAKERS ballast bag, filling it to its maximum capacity. Once the bag is full, water vents overboard through the bag's overflow, maintaining the same functionality as the original system but with significantly increased capacity.
Draining is equally straightforward. As the factory pump empties the hard tank, gravity pushes water from the ballast bag back into the hard tank, ensuring both are drained completely.
