Does anyone know what the ballast pump model# is on a 2012 A22?

Trying to figure the math on fill time?

Thanks!

Shurflo Piranha 800. A lot of factors go into the fill times though so the math might not add up. I've never timed the fill time of mine with stock tanks plus 750's but it's about the time it takes to get the gear ready. Drain times with the stock gravity drain were Slooooow so I reconfigured mine.

Thanks! Would you mind sharing how you reconfigured the drain?

I plan on adding separate pumps someday but my quick fix was:

fill pump to tank in, tank out to bag in, bag out to vent

Bag rear out AND tank rear out to a "T" to drain pump.

It's a lot faster. Stock setup on mine was:

Fill pump to bag in, bag out to tank in (gravity drain)

Tank out to drain pump

The problem would be that the drain pump would stop spitting water and we would check the bag and it was still half full. If it was quiet you could hear the slow trickle of water draining from the bag to the tank. We would be home from the lake and it would still be draining.

Thanks - Im trying to picture this in my mind and want to give it a try. Some questions if you don't mind:

1.Did you need longer hoses at all

2. Is the hard tank currently hooked up to the vent? Not sure where the vent is.

3. I was planning on using the T that came with the boat. Do you need an extra hose?

Yes needed longer hoses. Ordered it from wakemakers.

I think the bag only was vented on stock setup but I don't remember for sure.

Mine did not come with a T

If I were to do it over again I would have just added a second drain pump. It took a decent amount of time to reconfigure everything and it's still not perfect. It's definitely faster though.
