Jabsco Ballast Puppy 9 GPM Reversible Pump with Rocker Switch – 18220

Fill and drain your wake boat's ballast tanks or bags with the Jabsco Ballast Puppy Reversible Pump with Rocker Switch (MFG #18220). Designed for wakeboarding and wakesurfing ballast systems, this 12V electric pump moves water in both directions, allowing you to fill ballast tanks and reverse the flow to drain them using the same pump.

The Jabsco Ballast Puppy 18220 features a durable cast bronze housing, integrated brass hose connections, and a green Jabsco nitrile impeller. Its reversible operation makes it a convenient solution for compatible factory ballast systems and aftermarket wake boat ballast installations.

This version includes a rocker switch and wiring pigtail for controlling the pump's fill and drain functions.

Fast Ballast Filling & Draining

The Jabsco 18220 Ballast Puppy is designed to make ballast adjustments easier while preparing for wakeboarding or wakesurfing.

Its reversible pumping action allows water to move into ballast tanks or bags during filling and back out when draining.

This makes the pump a practical choice for ballast systems designed to use one pump for both functions.

Actual fill and drain times depend on ballast capacity, hose routing, plumbing restrictions, and operating conditions.

Compatible Wake Boat Applications

Jabsco Ballast Puppy pumps are commonly found in select factory ballast systems on:

• MasterCraft
• Supra
• Moomba
• Correct Craft / Nautique
• Centurion

The pump may also be suitable for compatible aftermarket ballast systems.

Important: Confirm your existing pump's manufacturer part number, voltage, hose connections, mounting arrangement, and electrical configuration before ordering. Compatibility varies by boat model and year.

Durable Marine Pump Construction

The Jabsco Ballast Puppy features a cast bronze pump housing with integrated brass hose connections.

Its green nitrile impeller is designed to move water through compatible ballast plumbing systems.

The integrated run-dry protection device helps reduce the risk of pump damage under certain operating conditions, but the pump should still be operated according to Jabsco's instructions.

Rocker Switch & Wiring Included

The Jabsco Ballast Puppy 18220 package includes a rocker switch and wiring pigtail.
