Rated for continuous duty, it pumps both fresh and sea water and is designed for wake and watersport boats that need reliable, repeatable ballast cycling. The pump is self-priming, so it does not require manual priming before each use, and it draws less battery current than comparable pumps of its class, helping preserve onboard power for other systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInside, the Talulah pump uses a ball bearing design with a bronze head for durability under repeated wet\/dry cycling, and a thermal overload feature protects the motor if the pump is run dry. It is built as a Retrofit Ready unit, meaning it is sized and configured to be installed into existing wake and watersport boats that have approved electrical and plumbing specifications already in place. The pump offers versatile high volume connection options, with an external 1 inch standard hose connection and an internal 1\/2 inch NPT female port, and it is compatible with tank monitoring systems for overfill protection and dry-run protection while emptying.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Johnson Pump Talulah Ballast Pump is finished in black plastic housing and carries a 3 year warranty. It complies with USCG 183.410 and ISO 8846 ignition protection standards for marine electrical equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Johnson Pump\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10-24690-18\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlow Rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13.5 GPM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVoltage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12V DC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOperating Voltage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13.6 VDC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection:\u003c\/strong\u003e External 1 inch standard hose, internal 1\/2 inch NPT (female)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Hose Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWire Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Minimum 12 AWG\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFuse Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 25 A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAmp Draw (Pumping):\u003c\/strong\u003e 14 A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAmp Draw (Reversal):\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to 18 A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImpeller Kit:\u003c\/strong\u003e 09-824P-2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8 inches L x 4.72 inches W x 3.54 inches H\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.425 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plastic housing with bronze pump head\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Submersible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 Year Warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompliance:\u003c\/strong\u003e USCG 183.410 and ISO 8846 (Ignition Protection)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the flow rate of the Johnson Pump Talulah Ballast Pump?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Johnson Pump Talulah Ballast Pump (10-24690-18) has a rated flow of 13.5 GPM.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan this pump both fill and drain a ballast tank?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes.
