Shurflo Piranha 357-106-10 Ballast Pump, 12V 1100 GPH Submersible

The Shurflo Piranha 357-106-10 is a 12 volt submersible ballast pump built to move water quickly and reliably in marine ballast and water transfer systems. Rated for 1100 GPH (18.33 gallons per minute), it is designed for the fill and drain cycles that wake boats, ski boats, and fishing boats depend on for consistent ballast performance. The pump uses a heavy duty motor paired with a high density nylon housing, giving it the strength to resist impacts and corrosion in both freshwater and saltwater environments over repeated seasons of use.

A patented anti airlock system automatically clears trapped air from the pump so water flow stays consistent during fill and drain operation, preventing the interruptions that can occur with simpler pump designs. The removable cartridge design lets you access the internal components quickly for cleaning or replacement, cutting down on maintenance downtime. The 357-106-10 is fully submersible and includes a corrosion resistant tinned 6 foot wire lead for a dependable underwater electrical connection. It is ISO 8846 ignition protected, meaning it is certified safe for installation in enclosed engine compartments as well as open bilge and ballast locations on recreational and commercial boats.
