High-Performance Plug and Play System
Since 2013, Axis has equipped their boats with HI FLO 1100 gph pumps and 1-1/8" hoses, making this one of the fastest filling and draining systems on the market. This ballast upgrade utilizes the factory setup to keep everything automated and effortless, giving you more time on the water.
How to Check for PNP Compatibility
Not all A245 models come with the PNP option installed. To verify, lift the bow seat cushions and look for three hoses connected to a barbed wye fitting. If your boat has this plumbing, you’re ready to connect the ballast bag, which is controlled using the front ballast switch on your dash.
Designed for a Perfect Fit
This front ballast kit is specifically tailored for the Axis A245, ensuring a factory-like fit and reliable performance. It features an OEM-style Quick Connect System with Flow-Rite Qwik-Lok fittings, making it easy to remove the bags for cleaning, storage, or winterization.
Easy DIY Installation in Minutes
You can install the A245 Front Ballast Upgrade quickly with just a screwdriver—most customers complete the job in under 15 minutes. The kit is also completely reversible, with no permanent modifications required if you decide to sell your boat. Prefer professional installation? Any dealership or marine service center can handle it for you.
How It Works
The PNP ballast system uses the built-in 1100 gph auxiliary pumps to fill and drain the included Bow ballast bag. The bag fits under the bow seats, with connection points aligned perfectly for the factory fill, drain, and vent hoses.
Maximize your Axis A245’s wake potential with this front ballast upgrade and enjoy bigger, smoother waves for an unforgettable ride!
