All you Hobie guys say your tanks run all day & the Hobie website says they run a 6 volt pump if I am not mistaken (250-300 GPH?) - My 12 volt pump runs 500 GPH and I am looking to get more mileage out of my battery.

Josh - You know I tried to pawn that dog off on you a few weeks ago as I was the only engine out at LJ and he wouldn't leave me alone. Aren't guides supposed to take one on the chin for their clients ?

Hobie uses a 6v battery on a 12v 500 gph pump. Its the same pump we have used in KayaTanks for a few years and now use in the Stealth pump kits.

Is there a 12v pump with a lower gpm rating that draws less power available??

Rule makes a 360gph but thats about it.

Run a timer if you want everything 12v and need less flow/ battery usage.
