Definitely not a game changer...just cool for emptying. As long as the pump has grates around it like a bilge pump, it should be fine and not suck itself to the bag. If it doesn't have the grates, yeah,that will be an issue. You could use a 3700 if it was setup right so that you could get it to prime.

I was the one who came up with the "pump inside the bag" Idea. I talked to Ronix, and they were able to make a bag that I could use any size submersible pump with.
I was always limited with the in-line (aerator) pumps. I wanted to be able to use the largest 12 volt pump possible... hence the 3700 gph submersible bilge pump. There is a 4000 gph pump, but I could not find one for less than $200, I bought a new 3700 gph pump for $110. I tried to use a 3700 gph in-line washdown pump, but it would airlock too much. When I modified a bag, and put the pump inside the bag it worked perfectly. I might not weight my boat the same as everyone else. I fill my stock ballast, then manually fill two 750 lb. bags... sometimes more. I mainly use the weight for surfing, and I wanted to be able to switch from goofy to regular fast. I can switch sides now in 2 minutes. I might buy another pump and a three way valve, so i can switch from goofy to regular, and empty the bags, all from the drivers seat.
I could have used any size pump with the bags, but I am glad I bought the 3700 gph... it's fast.Mikes Liquid Audio: Knowledge Experience Customer Service you can trust-KICKER WetSounds ACME props FlyHigh Custom Ballast Clarion LiquidLumens LEDs Roswell Wave Deflector And More
