Why doesnt mastercraft do somthing like this for their ballast

PureVert Wake System fills in under a min and empties in just seconds? just curious as to why they have not designed somthing like this for their boats

speaking of ballast. sorry for the thread jack. All of my gauges read 1/2 full when they are in fact empty. I know others have had a problem and is there any easy fix that solves this problem. In other words can the gauges actually be accurate at all?

I have an 07 X2.

Roonie, I have an 06 X2 with the same problem. After researching a little i found out that each of the tanks have an electronic sender atop each of them. If you remove the three screws from the access panel on the Starb. and Port inside your storage compartments, you will see the electronic sender. There are two set screws that have some gunk on each of them to keep them from moving. If you scrape off the gunk and use a small screwdriver you can set these the tank level to match the guages. There are two (plastic) screws... one for empty calibrationa and one for full. Turn on your ignition and you can see the changes to the scew positions on your guages. Mine get off a couple of times a summer.

The KGB (center) tank sender is under an access panel inside you passenger seat storage. Slide it to the side and you will have the same access as in the back.

I've got the same problem in my 197. I assume the electronic sender is the same for this type of ballast?

That systems says it fills without any pumps? How does it work? How does it discharge the water?

The pure vert has a gate on the hull of the boat that is opened and water rushes into the space between the outer hull and the inner hull. The trapped air is released somehow but I am not sure, I own a Mastercraft. The system drains in similar fashion but only when underway. From what I understand the boat has to be on plane and at speed for the system to drain.

I think I would rather wait on the pump. Gates that open....water coming in going out on plane, sounds like more could go wrong with a gate malfunction.
