Since we have a cottage, I don't necessarily need an on board ballast pump for my ballast bags. I could even get away with a 120v pump that I would run at the dock and fill the bags up like that. Has anyone used something like a utility pump or sump pump to fill ballast bags. It sounds ghetto but for $60 you can get a sump pump that will do close to 3000 gph which is really good GPH for the $$. Only problem would be draining the bag. Would gravity drain work if I started the drain and put the hose overboard? I assume most of the water would be drained into the water.
