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 adjust-
able 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.
