My boat is at the dealer getting some work done. We're both unsure of what the 2010 ballast system with Jabsco's consists of. I'll call SC and ask, but I really want an exact answer from a consumer that's not affiliated with SC or a dealer. The dealer says SC told them it cost $2,500. Sure, but I've already got the sacs, and I can find the pumps for $225 each. So what's the rest of the cost? 75% markup?

Don't just say - "3 Jabsco pumps". I want to know what switches it has, how many pumps, how many grates on the bottom of the boat, etc. An exact parts list to go off of from scratch.

Ok its the same. As the 09. A dedicated 1" intake and ball valve for each bag 1" line back to the pump (port side transom. See ed g in moomba) then from the pump 1" line to the bag. This fills and empties the bag at about 100 lbs a minutem there is a 3/4 vent line of the bag for overflow and venting

Can you elaborate on the vent line? Is that just on top of the bag going to a drain?

Thanks for the reply Doug!

The vent/overflow lineattaches to the top of the bag and goes a side hull hole . The fill/drain line is onthe bottom, the bag fills and drains thru same line pump and bottom hull intake

Perfect. The existing drain line for each bag goes to a thru-hull fitting in the side, so I can just use them in the top.

I'm going to have to add a ball valve on my vent / over flow line as when the 1100 is full it drains out some thru this line
