As far as the guages for the ballast, give up on them. Seriously! I quit using them after about a week. Just fill all your ballast until they are overflowing. With a bit of practice, you can tell which are full, and how long they take. Rears fill up pretty quick, followed by the bow tank. Center takes the longest. There is no need as far as I know, to NOT have them full. That's the point, right? To weight the boat. A couple hundred pounds less by not completely filling one just does not make sense. Fill those tanks. You will be glad you did. If you are pulling kids or beginners, just empty them. Still a smoking wake when empty. If you want to empty one for surfing, just empty it until it stops flowing. Much easier than a guage. I put a ton of hours on my VLX, and fill/empty all the time. No problems. Can't help with the wedge. I have a manual one. Have fun!
