ballast pump

[ess3489]

2003 supra 22ssv launch, the big main 2000gph ballast pump cracked over the winter, and the replacement one is 150 bucks, wondering if anyone has replaced this pump with a tsunami 1200gph pump which is 40 bucks? would this work and save me 100 bucks?

It all depends on the fittings that are on it.... I know the large Tsunamis have some difficult fittings to plumb with, but maybe you're just using hose clamps right now?

You can pick up the new RULE 1100 Tournament series for about $50 which is 3/4" threads, the only modification you might have to do is change the fill line from 3/4" to 1". Not sure what size fill line the stock Rule pump you are replacing was using.

If you replace this with a smaller pump it will take a lot longer to fill the ballast, the stock ballast is going to have bigger than average bilge fittings,it will have at least 1" which is what most units rated over 750gph have.
