UPDATED: Ballast Build (5 fill ) (3 empty) 1200-gph tsunami pump system, remote controlled

Added some functional features and display to ballast control system. Got tired of pulling the main control box out from under the seat, so i build a small remote LED display.

@dan144k This is still my favorite thread!

Have a couple of questions. Hope you don't mind. Do you have any check valves in that system? Are you using any high loops?
Other than the 1" lines, would you do anything different?

Also, did you ever entertain an idea of filling the rear bags up with air - for sound insulation - when not in use?
