Just got the boat what is the fastest way to fill the ballast just idle or moving. Also needless to say seems fairly slow. Anyone just replace the pumps or have you just replaced the entire system

I've replaced impellers in all 3 pumps, didn't seem to speed anything up. I went from black impellers to yellow but now I hear the blue ones are the best.

Hmmm the dealer I bought it from put the latest and greatest in there not sure what color they are. Do you fill while sitting in neutral or do you fill while slowly moving forward?

Moving...

I always fill my 01 while sitting still (usually at the dock while I'm waiting for the truck/trailer to be parked)... If I'm moving, one the rear tanks won't fill up.

I'm hoping to replace that mess of pumps to 2 Jabsco's... 1 - front fill and drain, 1 - rear fill and drain.
