210 Ballast Pumps

[wake_fun]

What make, model, and flow are the ballast pumps in a new 210? I'm thinking of building a ballast system.
Where is the cheapest place to buy them.
Thanks.

210 fill uses Attwood 500 pumps and the drains are Rule 1100 pumps

Thanks.
Would you recommend something different? Better?

[wake_fun]

Oh yeah, and why are the fill and drain different?
Thanks.

I don't have anything to recommend but I think some of the guys here could give you some options.

Fill & Drain use to be the same, however, pumps have to face certin ways and when the Rules where used as the fill pump they where placed in an unfriendly area. Changed to Attwoods and moved them to a much more accessable place on the port rear stringer. This also was done to introduce the Helm Ballast Control, the valve is 3/4" so the hose size had to be reduced from 1 1/8" to 3/4".
