Liquid Lead Ballast System
When bags begin to vent, shut o!
Do Not overll ballast bags!
The Liquid Lead* Ballast System in your boat is an electronically
controlled ballast system that can be operated from the driver’s
seat. The system can be controlled by using the ballast
switches or through the Supra Vision Dash. The Supra Vision
Dash allows for stored preset ballast levels (see “User Preset
Screen” in the Vision System section of this Owner’s Manual)
for easy rider setup. The manual switches for this three position
system are located in the switch panel directly below the shifter
mechanism.
The Ballast System in your boat is an integrated and logically
controlled system. At the heart of the system is a series of
reversible pumps that use impellers to pump water in and out of
the ballast system. The controller for the system runs the pumps
an appropriate amount of time to ll and to empty the bags.
Ballast Pump Impellers- The pumps that ll and drain the
ballast system use an impeller. Your Supra ballast impeller uses
the latest polymer technology in an eort to have the longest
service life possible. The impellers are a wear item and dierent
use patterns, water types, debris, etc. can greatly aect the
service length of the impeller. As the impellers wear, the amount
of water that is pumped into and out of the ballast system is
reduced. The Vision System does have provision for adjusting
ll and empty times to accommodate decreased eciency due
to impeller wear or changing to dierence sized bags (See Vision
Dash “System Settings” For more info). Running the pumps
without water will greatly accelerate the wear and prolonged
running of the pumps without water will damage the impeller
to the point that they will require immediate replacement.
Note: Impellers are a wear item and not covered by warranty.
Ballast System Utilities- It is not recommended to change any
of the ballast conguration that are found under the” Utilities”
menu on the Vision Dash unless specically directed to do so
by your Authorized Supra dealer. Changing these values may
negatively aect the ballast system or may make the system fail
to work all together.

lead ballast
Filling the System-In normal operation of the system, ipping
one of the switches to “Fill” will start the system lling the
associated ballast. The ballast gauge on the Supra Vision system
will turn green. The pump will automatically turn o when the
appropriate amount of time to ll the system has been reached.
The light on the switch will still be luminated as it is in the “Fill”
position, but the pump will not be running. The ballast gauge on
the Supra Vision system will turn yellow. The switch should be
turned back to the “o” position when the pump stops running.
Emptying the System-In normal operation of the system,
ipping one of the switches to “Empty” will start the system
emptying the associated ballast. The ballast gauge on the Supra
Vision system will turn green. The pump will automatically turn
o when the appropriate amount of time to empty the system
has been reached. The light on the switch will still be luminated
as it is in the “Empty” position, but the pump will not be running.
The ballast gauge on the Supra Vision system will show empty.
The switch should be turned back to the “o” position when
the pump stops running.
