ballast fill pump replacement

[kaneboats]

Yea, it's 3/4. So get a T and another shut off valve and two Tsunami 1200s that take up less space and each pump 90% of what the Rule one does.

Awesome! Thanks Trayson, Kane and all! Much appreciated!

If its all 3/4 npt, the smallest tsunami 1200 inlet is 1" npt. Will you have to have an adapter for the pumps to make it work? Working on replacing the rule 2000 myself also. My factory manifold is 1", and I am planning on plumbing in the pumps to each end of the manifold and replace the sprinklers with electric ball valves. With the 1200s I can feed the manifold with 1" lines, if I go with the 800s I have to use 3/4" manifold feed lines.
Id like to run the 1200s, but have no idea how to make it happen. Boat is in hibernation, so I can't get to it or into it till spring...but like to have everything here ready to install come springtime.

replace the sprinklers with electric ball valves.

With the right design, neither is needed. Can reduce boat cost an flow restriction.

I replaced the pump with one from SC. maybe this winter i will get in and change the manifold etc. I have been fine with the fill times for using the original method. maybe i will try and match my 67 ski days of last winter.

I got a brass reducing tee, 3/4 on the T portion, and 1" on the main run. Have 2 1" ball valves to put on the T and ordered 2 Tsunami 1200s to feed the manifold, and jettisoning the sprinkler valves for 3 1" electric motorized ball valves. Ditching the strainer as I boat on clean water. Going to test it in the spring, but may end up changing the 3/4" hose to the rear 750s to 1" if needed to cut down the fill time.

changing out the hose is easy on the rear bags as the run is simple and straightforward. I did that and don't regret it at all.

Also, are you going to upgrade your drain pumps? Those would be easy to upgrade as well.

I lost the port rear end of season. Have a 800 on the way. Hit the wakemakers black Friday sale on a few things. The other two are Factory pumps. The center pump drains relatively quick however the other rear drains painfully slow. The center pump Outlet is straight up whereas the rear the pump is located upside down by the factory. I am going to remount the rear drain pumps to where the outlet is up and hopefully it will pump like the center drain does
