Johnson Ultra Ballast Pumps, 1" hose.
When I installed the IBS, I pulled the vent from the ski locker and put it on the front/center port of the IBS (it reached with no modifications). Then I added a hose from the ski locker (what was the vent port) to the IBS back leg port. It was pretty easy.
Currently, I'm just plumbed in one leg of the IBS. At the end of the day, there is a little bit of water trapped in the opposite leg but we just "lift the leg" and drain it . I think that decelerating and coming off plane pushes any leftover water forward and then at least half of that drains, I'm kinda surprised how much does drain - we probably only have a couple of gallons of water left. I've been meaning to add a T to the other side but it hasn't been enough of an issue to move it up in priority.2007 Mobius LSV

Yes, I reused the scupper through hull for one of the pumps (actually the center/IBS pump). It did force fill a bit, until I ground off the scupper part with an angle grinder. It's easy to remove since it's soft bronze. Even the force filling wasn't too bad, just a minor annoyance.

So I replaced my old system with the upgraded wakemakers reversible pumps on my 07 LSV. It really isn't a tough job, just take a little time is all. I reused the original through hull for one bag and then drilled 2 new ones for the other two pumps. I ran one pump to the bag in the floor of the boat (ski locker) and then ran another hose from that bag (the vent line) up to the IBS bag in the bow to fill it. Then I ran a vent line from the IBS out the side of the bag where the old vent was. Hopefully that makes sense. I mounted all 3 pumps in the engine compartment which was pretty easy. I can take pictures if you want to see where they are. The electrical switches are pretty easy to connect as well. I love the system and think it's a great upgrade.

Sound easy enough, maybe a dremel is on my Xmas list now hah!
I sure would be interested in seeing how you mounted those pumps if the boat is accessible and it isn’t too much trouble!
Thank you to everyone for all your advice and input! Like I’ve seen said many times before, this forum makes me proud to have a Moomba!

Here is a pic of my scupper thru Hull. I’m trying to decide if I should try and cut off the “scupper” part or try and remove it and replace with a mushroom style?
Has anyone successfully removed and replaced one? It seems like the gel coat has a lip on it inside the scupper cover from my photos.

Yep... Just use a dremel or cutting wheel and cut the "hump" part off at the base there, you'll leave the ring part with the screws untouched. It's brass and cuts easily. You just want to make it flat, doesn't need to be perfect, I round the edge of my cut so it's not sharp just incase. It doesn't need to be totally flat, you can have a lip left if you can't get that close.. 😀
