Ballast Pump

[TXBu]

I'm repairing a crack in my Uber Pump for one of my ballast bags. Looks like I might need to buy a new pump. I don't feel like spending $100+. Has anyone made their own using a $20 Tsunami? Any direction would be helpful. I'm trying to make one that will plug into my cigarette socket.

I've got 3 home made pumps on board that I've used for 3-4 years now. I doubt the craftmenship is crew approved so PM me if you want details.

Yes I make them all the time. You will need to solder and heat shrink the power cord or it will come apart or get water in it. Use marine heat shrink because it has a hot glue inside it to seal the connection.
