How to Replace Ballast Impellers - Moomba Kaiyen/Makai

My 2020 moomba kaiyen had the front ballast impellers fail and would not fill the bag. I decided to do my rear impellers this season as preventative maintenance and glad I did. Found one of the impellers completely shredded and two others were dry rotted.
This boat has the g6 package with 6 pumps. 200 hours on stock impellers.

Have you changed your main engine water pump impeller? Our dealer wants to charge $710 on my 2020 Moomba Craz. They say $80 part and 3 hours labor. That doesn't yet include any ballast impellers!

I have not changed it out yet. I probably will do mine at the end of this next season or if I have a problem. When I do it I will make another video!

Where did you buy your new impellers at? And did you replace with same “green” color or upgrade to another aftermarket version?

[@lakelivingoutdoors]

I actually ended up buying them from my local dealer, they were $3 more per impeller than Amazon and I wanted to support my local dealer.
Wake makers also has them! I believe green is the only color for the new moomba jabsco pumps.

Where is the front pump location

[@matlock339]

@@1bizvip depends on boat year and model, if it’s the Makai, in same center cover where the center plug is.

@@1bizvip Front pump is under the man hole in the center of the floor beside the driver seat. It is in front of the "belly" drain plug.
