The Johnson Pump Talulah HF is a high-flow reversible ballast pump rated at 30 GPM on 12V DC — built for wake and watersport boats that require fast, reliable ballast fill and drain cycles. The reversible motor handles both directions from a single unit, and the built-in thermal overload protection with automatic reset keeps the pump running safely under continuous duty loads.
Designed as a retrofit-ready upgrade for existing wake and watersport boats, the Talulah HF meets approved electrical and plumbing specifications and is compatible with tank monitoring systems for overfill protection and dry-run detection. The improved impeller compound is engineered to tolerate short-duration dry-run events without immediate failure.

Parts Desk Insights
Best use case: The Talulah HF 30 GPM is the right choice for wake boats and surf boats with large ballast tanks — typically 400 lbs or more per bag — where fill and drain speed directly affects time on the water. The high-flow rating cuts cycle times significantly compared to standard ballast pumps, making it well-suited for boats running multiple bags or a centre sac. Confirm your existing plumbing is 1-1/2″ NPTF before ordering. For smaller ballast systems or single-bag setups, the 13.5 GPM Talulah is the appropriate fit. Keep a replacement impeller kit on hand for seasonal maintenance.
