should not take that long, check and see if you have a clog or something, I recently had my stb pump go bad, it would run for about 10 seconds then it would freeze for about 10 mins then run again so on..Replaced it not its gravy

As I recall, dont Supra's have a single 2000gph pump. With that much water, you definately need more than one pump.

I run the upgraded sacs in my SSV. It takes 10-15 minutes to fill. They will fill faster if you drive the boat while you fill the sacs. Of course then you are burning $3 per gallon of gas. My method is to crack open a beer and wait for them to fill. So yeah, it takes about a beer to fill my sacs

as nauty said they will fill much much faster if you get it up on plane. good luck and enjoy

The faster you drive the faster they will fill. If sitting could take 10-20 min, if driving 4-5 Min. Hope this helps.. Unless you have a problem like mentioned before.

with my boat (Sanger V215) you DON"T drive as the ports are by the exhuast and it take less than 4 mins to fill, basically by the time the rider gets ready in the water all 3 (backs are 400lbs and the front 450lbs)are full..

the filter on your lines (after the pump) is probably clogged. Usually this time of year mine builds up w/ pollen & the sacs fill slowly/dont fill @ all. Its just a screw on filter (found before the water is split to the different bags, usually REALLY close to the pump)...but be sure & turn the handle right after the pump to the "off" position before removing the filter. Also, watch for the rubber ring that seals the filter... i'd definitely make sure it isnt just this problem before you go through the hassle of taking it anywhere to be checked...

that's an insanely long time...

You should get a timer for the switches. You wake up on a glorious, buttery morning, and the boat has already filled itself for you 30 MINUTES AHEAD OF SCHEDULE!

I have a 03 SSV and if your balast system is the same in 04 then IMO the 12 volt solonoid valves that open up when you turn the system on only open to about 3/8" creating line restriction. I added a second 2000 gph pump and I helped but I'm in the process of buying some replacement valves that open to 3/4" or even 1" if it will fit into the engine compartment were I need them to.
