1. Only twice all summer. Run dry saved me both times. Still want a red light somewhere on the dash by the gauges to indicate when on. Seems like an easy mod. Your switch location will be better then mine though.
2.Didn't smoke a nitride impeller yet.
3.Yes 90lbs./ minute
Current draw: I drained and filled with 3 puppies and the engine off 90% of the time. I have two batteries.
Daze: would you go rule 3800 or jabsco puppies if you were setting up a boat that's a few years or more old?-Jake

Okay one vs other: the jabsco has run dry and comes with the hard to destroy green impeller. The Johnson pumps a little more water, people unhappy with Jabsco switched to Johnson and are happy. I haven't had any problems with the Jabsco so I can't speak on that.

not sure which way I would go, couple thoughts on it
I'd think the 3800 would fill all 3 bags at the same rate as 3 tsunami 1200's but you would need a super big pickup thruhull-like 2" or larger?. That single 3800 going into a stock gravity 3 manifold sure could be something to think about and be cheaper than redoing a system over to reversibles. But...
for me , it would be 6 tsunami's 1200's vrs 3 reversibles and after using both. I think for a simple, clean install, ease of use, easier to mount out of the way, the reversibles would win out.
The go big option - 3 3800's. Wicked fast but still would need all the oversized hardware, and this hardware takes up alot of room in a cramped area and the fittings on the bag are going to be a restriction of waterflow. That oversized hardware is super expensive compared to the 3/4" or even 1". But dang, with 3 3800's filling 3 bags the ballast could be full in 3 minutes or so.Hey, Its Moomba time

I think if you tried to run this into the Stock 3 manifold then all you would do is reverse the pumps effect, all that water would be stuck at the small manifold. You would need to find a Manifold of the same diameter and hoses, other wise you would be wasting the 3800s effectiveness.
Your right you would need something like a 2inch hole in the bottom to supply water tot his pump. Sounds big but i had 5 holes in the bottom of Fierah.
1 2inch engine pick up
1 2inch depth/ water temp puck
2 1inch reversable pump pickups
1 1inch Rule factory pump pickupMalo <--- Means--Evil or Mean One. This explains a lot.

So does this sound feasable;
- Two New Johnson 780 Reversible Ballast Pumps for the rear bags
- Apparently the green impellers also fit the Johnson pump, so keep one in the glove box
- Use the existing Rule plumbed to only the front center locker bag
- Change out the front center locker bag dump pump to a new 1100 or 1200 Aerator pump
- Five new switches - Three for the bags, one for the amps, one future (possibly a cross-over pump for the rears)
- Two new 750 sacs for the rear
- Possibly a new bag for the ski locker - all in at this point!
Bryan from WakeMakers said that the one-way valves and a tee wont work to dump the bags over the side, but unless the pump cant take about a foot and a half of head pressure it should work - and worth trying.
- And to put in two new reversible pumps, will I need two new under the boat pickups? -- I don't mind drilling holes in my boats anymore!

Yes the Reversables need there own threw hull pickups under the boat. Some guys i know have used 1 and put a T on it but this will hamper you if you are filling 1 rear bag while draining another, it also wont allow you to drain both bags at the same time.
I went with that thought and put a deddicated threw hull for each bag.Malo <--- Means--Evil or Mean One. This explains a lot.
