A22 ballast pump replacement

[40oz]

Ballast pump for the front sack (the one thats hard to get to) quit working. Should I replace with OEM (if so anyone have a part #) or should I go back with something better?

Have you already confirmed the pump is not obstructed with debris?

It is most likely a Shurflo Piranha 1100 on 2012+.  You can also opt for the cartridge only if the motor failed.  Bakes, Wakemakers, and several other places have them.  

I had one fail the first year I had my T22 - I didn't find anything better so I just used the OEM warranty replacement.  They're all cheaply made.

Yea its the pump. It is not trying to come on and will trip a fuse if you try for too long.

I am not sure of the brand, but they are blue and white and relativly small pumps.

Change the cartridge.  Slightly cheaper and a really easy DIY.  It's definitely a Shurflo.

Sometimes one or two of mine will do this after winter.  If I pull the cartridge out and spin the impeller by hand that will usually free it up.  Before putting in back in the housing flip the switch to see if it will run on its own.  Sometimes this works, sometimes the pump picks up a whine and it's time for a new one.

I had an impeller spinning on itself.  I'd hear the pump run, but no water would fill the tank.  Luckily they are an inexpensive fix and fairly easy to do.

Where is this pump located? Is it near the center fill pump?

[40oz]

Yes it was that one.

I would replace the guts if you can. We live on a lake with a lot of weeds and I've cleaned mine out a ton, it's not hard to get the guts out, so I imagine replacing wouldn't be hard.

I have an '15 A20. The middle tank 6 amp fuse is popped / won't reset, so I assume I have a bad or clogged pump. I understand this is located in the floor access to the left of the driver seat. Does anyone have any pictures of where exactly this is located? It's a small dark area, difficult to see in there!  Is there a trick to find this?

If its like my old a22 its just laying on the bottom.  Not fun to work in there but there is usually a little extra hose to help.
