Johnson Pump Rogue Ballast Pump – 13.5 GPM – 12V – 10-24690-18

The Johnson Pump Rogue Ballast Pump (10-24690-18) is a high-performance, reversible ballast pump designed for efficient filling and draining of ballast tanks on wakeboard and wakesurf boats. Delivering an impressive 13.5 gallons per minute, this compact 12V pump provides fast ballast management while maintaining quiet, reliable operation.

Built with a self-priming reversible impeller design, the Rogue pump eliminates the need for separate fill and drain pumps, reducing installation complexity and system weight. Its flexible impeller allows the pump to run dry briefly without damage, while internal thermal protection helps safeguard the motor during extended use.

The pump’s compact footprint makes it easy to install in tight engine compartments, lockers, or bilge areas. Engineered for the marine environment, the Johnson Pump Rogue features corrosion-resistant materials and robust construction to withstand continuous exposure to water and vibration.

Ideal for custom ballast systems or OEM replacements, the Rogue ballast pump delivers dependable flow control and long service life for serious watersports enthusiasts.

Key Performance Features

• High-Volume Reversible Flow: Delivers a flow rate of 13.5 GPM (51 LPM). When paired with a polarity reversing switch, it can both fill and drain tanks through the same plumbing.

• Thermal Overload Protection: Features a built-in thermal cut-off that automatically resets once the motor cools. This prevents the motor from burning out if the pump is left on accidentally.

• Advanced Impeller Design: Comes standard with a "Run Dry" orange polyurethane impeller. While it is best to avoid dry running, this impeller can handle brief periods without water (up to 30 seconds) better than standard neoprene versions.

• Ignition Protected: Complies with USCG 183.410 and ISO 8846 standards, making it safe for installation in engine compartments where fuel vapors may be present.

Summary for the User

This pump is a premium upgrade or direct replacement for many factory ballast systems (such as those in Mastercraft, Nautique, or Supra boats). It is favored for its all-bronze head and self-priming reliability, which helps prevent "air-locking" in your ballast lines.

Installation Tip: To ensure maximum speed, use full-bore 1" hoses without restrictive fittings. Also, ensure your batteries are fresh; low voltage can cause the pump to draw higher amperage and trigger the thermal protection early.
