Tsunami 800 pump upgrade project

[Fman]

Fman,

Do you think the Tsunamis 1200 pumps would that be much more difficult to install instead of the 800's, to get the extra flow, or is there a reason you didnt go with those?

The 1200's use a thread pattern that has no fittings for it, that is why I chose to go with the 800's. You will get 6 more GPM with the 1200's, but for less headaches, I chose to go with the 800's and the 3/4" NPT fittings. I have seen on the Moomba site someone used the 1200's, not as clean of a setup but he got it to work. With the 800's everything looks nice and professionally done. You will also need to drill additional holes (2) in your boat with seperate intakes for each pump with the 1200's. One 3/4" intake will cap out at about 40 GPM which is about what you are getting with all 3-800's drafting from one intake. If you ran (3) 1200's from one intake it would defeat the purpose.

Just my .02, for more info on the 1200's contact Jason at wakemakers.com, he was actually the one recommended the 800's to me because of the problems with the 1200 fittings.

I have been very happy with my 800's, I am filling 1900 lbs in about 9 minutes. I rarely fill this much, so usually I am at about a 5-6 min fill time for wakeboarding and surfing. Noneless, much faster than the stock system with no priming headaches or draining problems, especially now that all my bags are vented properly.
