BALLAST SYSTEM (212X Only)

WARNING

Improper use of the ballast sys- tem can overload the boat, caus- ing poor handling and increased risk of swamping.

Ballast system adds 750 lb (340 kg) when full. Include this weight when making sure your load does not exceed the weight shown on the Maximum Capacities label.

Drain ballast completely before trailering the boat to reduce the risk of a towing accident. The in- creased weight of ballast can cause unsafe towing conditions due to negative tongue weight, including decreased tow vehicle stability and greater chance of a runaway trailer that has come off the hitch.

Your boat is equipped with an adjustable ballast system to increase the amount of wake the boat leaves behind it. The more water that is pumped into the ballast sacks, the bigger the boat’s wake.

Filling

The ballast fills and discharges water from a screened fitting located below the waterline in the starboard jet pump tunnel. The pump can be operated when the boat is moored or running slowly at a no-wake speed.

Be sure there is no cargo in the rear storage compartments that can be damaged by the water bladders as they fill.
