Here is a link with some pics to my ballast install in my 210 on planetnautique. Do a search on that site, there are a bunch of good installs on 210's.

do you have to have a shut off valve after your intake and befor the pump?

Curt, what kind of C shaped sack do you have in the bow? I've got an '03 Elite V also, and I want to do something in the bow.

Nick, your pumps look like they're pretty low in the bilge, but do you have any issue priming with a mushroom intake? Just curious.. looks good.

Curt,

Do you have a shutoff incase the PVC breaks below the waterline?

Yea i have a 11/2 bras ball valve connected directly to the brass thru hull fitting. 11/2 pvc pipe out of the thruhull to the pumps. I can turn on all three pumps at one time. Each pump is rated at 10gpm @ 0 psi. More realisticly i am getting 7-8gpm with friction through tubing and elevation. I fill about 1000-1200lbs in ~ 7-10mins. My boat doesn't do well with a lot of weight the wake gets to washy. Personally i don't even notice the fill time by the time i back the boat in the water and my buddy parking the truck the sacks are full.

4 out of the 5 pumps work first time but one pump doesn't always fill right away. I will be checking into it this spring to see what the deal is but I have always just delt with it filling it on and off a couple times then it works.
