Johnson Pump Talulah High Flow Ballast Pump - 30 GPM - 12V

The Johnson Pump Talulah High Flow Ballast Pump 30 GPM 12V is a reversible ballast pump engineered for maximum flow capacity in compact marine systems. With a 30-gallon-per-minute rating, this pump sets the performance standard for high-speed ballast management on wake boats, fishing platforms, and multi-purpose vessels where rapid water transfer is critical to stability and performance.

Built with ball bearings and a solid bronze pump head, the Talulah delivers durability in corrosive saltwater and freshwater environments. The 12V DC motor operates efficiently at high output, while built-in thermal protection prevents damage from extended operation or system overload. The compact physical footprint—just 6 by 4 by 11 inches—allows flexible system design without consuming valuable cabin or bilge space. Reversible operation enables both filling and emptying from a single unit, simplifying plumbing and reducing component count.

This pump is designed for boaters who demand fast ballast response—whether managing trim on a center-console fishing boat, balancing a tow boat for wake sports, or maintaining stability on larger sport-fishing platforms. The 30 GPM flow rate allows substantial water movement in seconds rather than minutes, which translates to quicker response to sea state changes and faster weight redistribution during maneuvers. Serious offshore anglers and competitive wake enthusiasts rely on high-flow ballast systems to maintain precision boat control in dynamic conditions.

Johnson Pump ballast systems are industry standard across the marine aftermarket. The Talulah's reversible design and high-flow capacity position it as a core component in modern ballast tank installations where performance, space efficiency, and reliability cannot be compromised.
