Kevin williams Posted June 22, 2020 Report Share Posted June 22, 2020 I'd like to put larger lines and holes and pumps at least 1", anyone know the best to use? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtryon Posted June 22, 2020 Report Share Posted June 22, 2020 wakemakers should have everything you need. if you're going with aerator pumps, i love my Rule 209FDP's (1600 GPH) which are the fastest aerator pumps that i could find that still use 1" fittings. they fill my 1300lb bags in 6 min flat.

Kevin williams Posted June 22, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2020 How many pumps does it take with aerator pumps? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtryon Posted June 22, 2020 Report Share Posted June 22, 2020 one for each bag to fill, one for each to drain. i would put fast pumps to fill and use tsunami 1200's or whatever as drains. you'll need either 3 individual 1" thru-hulls and related hardware for each fill pump, or 1 big thru-hull (1.5") and a manifold for the 3 pumps to share a thru-hull. what size bags are you filling?

Kevin williams Posted June 22, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2020 Mine aren't bags, their the ballast in the boat , I have 3 ballast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin williams Posted June 22, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2020 I think 1000 on each of the rears and 800 up front Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtryon Posted June 22, 2020 Report Share Posted June 22, 2020 ok same idea then. i'd want to have at least 1200gph pumps for filling each of those. if you want to do it cheaply you can just buy tsunami 1200's all around, i think they're about $50/each. if you want it to be really fast try those rule 209FDP's--they would fill a 1000lb bag in under 5 minutes.

Kevin williams Posted June 22, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2020 Ok so I would need 6? 3 for filling And 3 for draining? Put the fill ones through the floor where my hoses come in and where would I put the drain ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin williams Posted June 22, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2020 I'm guessing I can just put them in my lines? Will I still need one way check valves? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtryon Posted June 22, 2020 Report Share Posted June 22, 2020 you still need check valves. basically just replace everything where it is--pull out the stock pumps, hoses, fittings, and replace everything in its current location with the bigger pumps/hoses/fittings which should keep the functionality there. it doesn't sound like you're familiar with the stock system, so it's probably better if you take a good look at what you have first and make a list of what you need to replace including hose lengths and stuff.

Kevin williams Posted June 22, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2020 My boat came with 3 reversible pumps they no longer make the pumps I have, i can do the tsunamis I'll just have to drill a hole in each ballast tank for fill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
