That is exactly what I have in my 04 and they might have not changed.

Here is one online. Description states..."This is the same pump found used to fill and drain OEM ballast systems in Mastercraft Wakeboard Boats."

I'm pretty sure they are the same pump, just with different impellers. They originally had black impellers, then went to yellow, then green. The green ones are supposed to be the best.

I have one of those in my 03 X2. It has the black impeller and it sticks quite a bit. I have to take it out and reseat it pretty much every time I use it.

The black impellers were absolutely terrible. Replaced so many of them when they would break apart. I've been using the yellow for a few years now and haven't had any problems. No need to upgrade to the green yet.
