Product Description
The WakeMAKERS Nautique PiggyBack Factory Ballast Upgrade seamlessly integrates aftermarket ballast bags with your boat's factory center hard tank, boosting your boat’s overall ballast capacity for improved wake performance. By utilizing excess water that would otherwise be vented overboard, the PiggyBack system redirects it into a bow ballast bag, ensuring it fills to capacity before excess water exits through the factory vent fittings.
Draining is just as effortless—your boat’s factory ballast pump removes water from the hard tank, while gravity drains the bow ballast bag into the tank until both are empty. The entire system is controlled using your dash switches and operates just like the factory setup, but with a noticeable increase in wake size and quality.
Why You Need It
Adding bow ballast is essential for achieving a balanced weight distribution. This results in cleaner, more defined wakes for wakeboarding, with better takeoffs and landings. For wakesurfing, additional bow weight helps extend the wake and create a larger "sweet spot" for effortless surfing.
