Fast water removal - with dual-direction pumping
Dual-direction action moves water on both the push and pull stroke, so each cycle expels water rather than just one stroke. A 25 mm hose attachment lets expelled water flow away efficiently.
Clears litres quickly, helping regain trim and control after a capsize or heavy spray.
Easy retrieval and visibility - with high-visibility yellow and flotation tube
Bright yellow colouring increases contrast on open water while an integrated flotation tube keeps the unit floating if dropped overboard. Visibility is further enhanced by the pump's length.
Simple to spot and unlikely to sink, reducing the chance of losing the pump during an emergency.
Comfortable manual use - thanks to ergonomic handle and practical length
Ergonomic pumping handle reduces hand strain during repeated strokes, while a 53 cm body gives reach into cockpits and deeper bilges. The weight of 335 g keeps handling light.
Makes sustained pumping less tiring and helps reach awkward spots inside a kayak or canoe.
