3. When ballast is empty, place switch
in OFF position and close thru-hull

NOTE: A noticeable different tone and
some air bubbles appear when ballast

NOTICE
Closing of this valve is
highly recommended when system
is not in use. In the case of compo-
nent failure, it blocks water from
entering in the system and prevents
any water intrusion.
WARNING
Never tow a boat with water re-
maining in the ballast bag.
The weight of ballast increases the
load on the trailer, the axle, and
the tires, which could lead to pre-
mature wear or failure. This also
contributes to reduce the stability
of your boat on the road by raising
the center of gravity of the trailer.
To Flush
Ballast bag should be flushed ev-
ery time the boat is used on another
stretch of water.
Use the following procedure to flush
the ballast system.
1. Safely secure the boat on the trailer.
2. Ensure thru-hull valve located in the
engine compartment are closed.
