Ballast pump on 2005 VLX

I've got 3 bad pumps on my 2005 VLX, in and out for the bow ballast and in for the belly ballast. No information written on the pumps, brand, size etc....
I'm trying to avoid Malibu for replacements. Anyone have the brand or any info, I've got no picture cus it was left with the local dealer to try the same thing.I don't want to change the pumps just put the same stuff back without paying the full nutt to malibu. Any help?

i think they are just normal bilge pumps. you can get them at like a Boaters world or West Marine.

pix would make it super easy man. There's usually 2 types and like 4 mfgs people use.

here you go

LOL, I've got 3 bad pumps and their the most indistructable ones in the industy.

You can replace just the motor on these pumps
don't even have to remove them

friends pumps went bad because he did not drain the water from the tanks and it froze over the winter killing all three drain pumps
$70 dollars fixed all three pumps ( new cartridges)
best equipment still has to be maintained

I would remove the pump motor check for debris and worse case if motor is gone buy new motor
easy to do don't even have to remove the pump

Check out wakeside.com the tsunami 800 are only $39.oo and should work great. I just bought four for my boat but have not installed them yet.

You should be able to replace them with the Attwood Tsunami 800gph pumps. They use 3/4" openings.

Thanks, I'm trying to work, with diversified and Fox to get around Malibu but we'll see. The specific information should help.

I just replaced my bow ballast drain and fill with Tsunami 800gph pumps from Wakemakers. Works great.
Like Spencer said, they use 3/4" outlets so it fits right into the factory lines. Very easy install.

Attwood Tsunami T800 Pumps are a direct replacement for the factory Malibu pumps, and have replaceable cartridges, so you can change out the motor if one fails again without having to replace the entire pump.

I was thinking of adding another intake pump to my 02 Supra SSV to fill the front ballast. Is there a way to fix this T800 pump in place permanently?
