Ok guys I have been running tsumani 1200gpm pumps that I have had a ton of priming issues ect. I want to make the jump to reversibles. Currently I have a single 1-1/4 thru hull and I am thinking that I can run two pumps off of that and install another 3/4 for the third. Am I going to have enough flow through the 1-1/4 to support two pumps?
Somewhere during my rebuild, I found information to support running two impeller pumps on a single 1-1/4 intake - so I did. Seems to work fine with all 1" fill and 3/4" vent hoses.
I think you're better off with a thru hull per pump with reversibles.
Multiple impeller pumps on a single intake does work, but over time you will see more wear on the impellers and pumps. With this said if it were an optimal solution, MasterCraft wouldn't have scrapped the system configuration after 2006.Quote:

Spencer sold me everything through wakemakers.
come on over. I love to drill holes in boats :)
as they say... silicone shmilicone... fox river isn't that deep so it won't sink far if it does.
I'd be more interested in the root cause of the priming issue?
^^ What he said. Priming on fill or drain pumps?
Both. SandM and Berg both of you guys have considerably more room under floor to mount pumps. That is my biggest issue is that I have a really difficult time getting all three of the tsunami's under water level. I've fought it for two years now and I am ready to scrap it. Worse case I have some extra pumps for a bow sack, surf sack, ect.
I want to do this too but I want detailed pictures of a boat that came with this set up factory. Pics of the thru hulls from inside the boat and outside, where the pumps are mounted, and how the hoses are routed
Ok guys as soon as I get the WM code I am placing my order. I am going to run the two rear pumps on the 1.25" and the locker / ibs on a second .75".
wait a minute.. weren't you doing this over the long weekend? :)
Haha I wish, I had to help my parents put build there outdoor bar. Wire all of the speaker ect. I finally got to work on the boat yesterday and I gutted the ballast system. I was so pissed at screwing around with it. The good news is that it is still raining. I'm still waiting to see that pink and blue 22ve.
Just sent you the new WM code on FB
Thanks guys.

I love the pumps but man to they draw a ton of amperage. Does anybody else have that problem?
Nope! ;) Oh wait, you gave up and went reversibles...
Yup and so far they are much more dependable. They just suck the amps no priming issues at all!
And blow a lot of fuses... :)Quote:
