Ballast pumps, sprinkler valves..?

You can fit the 1" lines over the 1.125" inlet. Takes a little persuasion but very doable.

Why the need to put hose on a threaded inlet? I typically thread the threaded inlet into a ball valve attached to an thru-hull mushroom.

That's what I did. I just nuke a cup of water and dip it in there for 45 sec. or so and then push it on. Have to do the same thing with the pool hoses I use to hook up my solar heater in the spring.

If you have a heat gun that works pretty well too -- I think I found that tip on wakemakers website.

That was just me being sloppy. OUTLET.

I went the heat gun route as well.

Well, I've never seen a 1 1/8" ball valve anywhere. My method was to adapt the ball valve to 1" hose and then put it on the inlet.

You did not respond saying where you would get the tsunami pump with normal threads on it.

Gotchya, that makes sense.

Thats my point, 1.125" is such an oddball size when looking for basic plumbing parts. With the 1" threaded inlets, you thread right into the ball-valve. No need for extra fittings and reducers or hose "jumpers".

I purchase them from my general marine wholesaler.

Interesting. I've never seen a T1200 advertised with anything other than their goofy threads.

Ive been using for probably 3 years now.

Looks like Wakemakers has them. An extra $10 or so to get the right threads.

Well a lil update I went with 3 separate tsunami 800 pumps, reason be I didn't want change all the hose to 1in fittings and all that stuff so kept the 3/4" stuff and I figured I can fill all three bags at same time and still be faster then stock.. They all have there own separate intake going to take out this weekend and find out how it does..image.jpgimage.jpg
