The present invention includes a ballast tank fluid transfer line sensing assembly, a hydraulic power source for wakeboards, and a method for hydraulically powering a pump from aboard a wakeboat. A ballast tank fluid transfer line fluid sensing assembly within a wakeboat, includes the wakeboat having a hull, and the ballast tank being associated with the hull. The transfer line is nonconductive and in fluid communication with the ballast tank. The said assembly comprises: opposing electrical components operatively aligned across from one another and a portion of the transfer line between the components. A hydraulic power source for wakeboats, includes: a wakeboat having a hull and an engine; a hydraulic pump mechanically driven by the engine; a hydraulic motor powered by the hydraulic pump; and a water pump powered by the hydraulic motor. The water pump is at least one of a flexible vane impeller pump or centrifugal pump. A method for hydraulically powering a pump from aboard a wakeboat includes: mechanically driving a hydraulic pump with an engine of the wakeboat; using the hydraulic pump to power a hydraulic motor; and using the hydraulic motor to drive a water pump, wherein the water pump is at least one of a flexible vane impeller pump or centrifugal pump.
