With a flow rate of 9 gallons per minute, it can fill most ballast tanks in about five minutes, letting you get the boat weighted and on the water without a long wait. The pump is self-priming to 3 feet, so it does not need to be mounted directly at the water source, and it is built to comply with USCG 183.410 and ISO 8846 Marine ignition protection standards for safe use around gasoline engines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA run-dry protection device automatically shuts the pump off if it loses its water supply, protecting the impeller from damage if a tank runs empty or a line is blocked. Because the pump is reversible, the same unit handles both filling and emptying the ballast tank, which simplifies plumbing and wiring compared to running separate fill and drain pumps. The pump connects using a 1 inch hose barb and a 1\/2 inch NPT internal port, and it ships complete with its reversing switch so it can be wired to switch direction from the helm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e
