I want to add a ballast bag to the ski locker. I'm thinking it's own pump, hardwired through to a switch on the dash. I have an idea of what bag I need, but not sure what pump to fill and drain the bag. I'll drill new supply/drain holes and run lines under the deck, just not sure where and how yet.
