Some of these boats I've seen have like 10+ thru hulls on the side. What the heck are all these for????

On a boat that uses aerator pumps, you can get to 9 easy. You have a empty line and vent line which equals 2 thru hulls for IBS, center, and both rear lockers. That equals 8 and the bilge pump is 9. Throw in a few more sacs under the seats and/or a second bilge pump and you're 10+.

Yeah, I didn't want the gun boat look, nor did I want to spend the extra $ per thru hull, so I combined the empty and vent lines for each bag with a one-way on the vent line right before they meet.

thought about doing that with the extra line that I added, but decided the boat already had 8, so what's one more and in ordering iirc, the cost for an extra thru-hull vs a check valve was almost the same.

I bet if you turn all those on at once, the driver has to manage some serious countersteer

final hookup of the ballast system. black wrapped bundle above the black circuit breakers are the relays for the ballast. I never asked about what happens if the touchscreen breaks on the lake when I bought the boat, but learned later. it seems that the supra has a similar setup, but the switches are in the dash for redundancy instead of hidden. I like that feature of the supra putting them in the dash better than hidden. gives you 2 choices to activate something at your fingertips if your screen is not displaying the needed menu option.
there's redundant switches for everything, and if you notice the fuseblock, there's 2 rows. one row that has fuses in it works, but if you pull the fuse out and put it in the corresponding block next to it, it turns that function on as long as the power is energized and bypasses the switch for that device.

Nice, i thought your thru hulls were on the stern......

I wye'd my vents with the drain thru hulls on the ole OBV to help the suction fuction, so i had six drains in total including two on the IBS. all per the ballast guru Mike the Manley
