Common Concerns Answered
Is 155 lbs enough ballast for larger boats?
For significantly larger vessels or those seeking extremely aggressive wakes, the 155lb capacity might be a limiting factor. Multiple units can be combined for increased ballast, or consider larger capacity bags from other manufacturers.
Do I need to buy extra parts for automatic fill systems?
The included fittings are specifically for over-the-side supa pump systems. Connecting to an automatic fill/empty system will require additional plumbing components not supplied with this unit.
What if I need more weight than this bag offers?
While the Brick Fat Sac excels in its class, users desiring higher ballast may explore larger capacity bags or strategically place multiple smaller bags for optimal weight distribution. This bag's strength lies in its specific dimensions and robust build for precise control.
