Robust. Well made.

Works well for my kayak but only works with an extra 2 ft hose.

Habe die Pumpe nun schon seit Jahren in meinem Canadier im Einsatz. Pumpleistung und Qualität sehr gut. Würde ich sofort wieder kaufen.

Tut genau was sie soll. Mehr braucht man ja nicht. Für mein Seekajak genau das Richtige. Den Dauer-Praxistest muss sienoch bestehen.

Funktionel

Anständige Pumpe in leuchtendem Orange, da kann man mit gutem Gewissen Kenter- und Rettungsübungen machen. Die Ummantelung verleiht Auftrieb, gleichzeitig liegt sie deshalb gut in der Hand. Einziges Manko, und das ist bei allen Pumpen glich, die ich bisher gesehen habe: dias Abblasende ist so kurz, dass es ohne Verlängerung, z.B. Stück Silikonschlauch, nicht weit genug über den Sühlrand steht und so beim Abpumpen oft wieder Wasser ins Cockpit spritzt.

Genau das, was ich wollte und zudem noch mit sehr angenehmem Grip, da Moosgummi-ummantelt (der orange Teil). Baut mühelos so viel Druck auf, dass der Schlauch gar nicht unbedingt notwendig ist, um Bilge oder Trimmbox zu leeren. Leichtgängig. Würde ich wieder kaufen!

野球場にできた水たまりの水を抜くために購入しました。深めにたまってしまった水たまりの水をスポンジで吸う前に、このポンプで吸い取ると、驚くほど簡単に水がなくなるため、雨の後のグラウンド整備にかかる時間をずいぶん短縮することができました。泥や小石なども一緒に吸い込んでしまいますが、使用後、バケツに入れた真水を吸い出して洗浄すると簡単に出てしまうので、手入れも楽です。

l'ho presa per svuotare il mio kayak.la pompa è robustissima e ricoperta da gomma piuma in modo da poter galleggiare in acqua.prodotto molto valido.Unica nota negativa, manca un tubo di plastica che permette di svuotare l'acqua verso l'esterno. il problema è facilmente rimediabileattaccando un tubo tipo corrugato, ma per il prezzo che costa non sarebbe male avercelo gia incluso.

Liegt gut in der Hand, da hält man ne Weile aus bis der Arm schlapp macht.Einen konischen Schlauchanschluss auf der Ansaugseite wünsch ich mir !

It is a brilliant item and works well. Easy to use, light in weight. Only disadvantage is that you have to dedicate both of your hands while using it.

Bought May 2011, Reviewed May 2012, Updated Aug 2013I read a lot of bilge pump reviews before settling on this pump. I mean, I didn't NEED a bilge pump. An empty yogurt container serves as long as you don't mind tilting the kayak just so to scoop out the water. And even $20 is a lot of money for something that'll end up in the trash. Still, according to the reviews this was one of the few that didn't immediately fall apart or jam. And Sea to Summit seemed to be a pretty solid brand in general. (I've since bought one of their dry bags, also a quality product).The only initial criticism was that securely tethering the pump requires putting a rope through both the plastic sleeve and the handle. As a consequence, the tether has to be removed to operate the pump. FYI, in pictures the plastic sleeve is the dark object with lettering on it. It wraps securely around the orange body, with a tab that lies along side the handle. If not tethered along with the pump the plastic sleeve could slide off and get lost.I have used the pump dozens of times, deliberately sucking sand, mud and weeds with no problems. (I'm in and out of my kayak frequently while leading strips, tracking in whatever sticks to my boots, so I hardly need a piece of equipment that requires babying). Oh yeah, and this pump really does move a lot of water.More updates Aug 2013: This pump is solid. The only problem I've had with it is having to periodically wipe lithium grease on the rod that goes in and out - or else it gets so stiff I can barely move it. In fact twice now I've neglected this maintenance step only to realize mid trip that I didn't have a functioning pump. The silver lining to this cloud however, is that I've applied serious force on the handle and it hasn't even hinted at failure. Points for durability.Even though I'm sometimes skeptical of negative reviews, I admit I'm troubled at others' reports of failures because of the notorious unreliability of Chinese manufacturing. (See "Poorly Made in China" by Paul Midler). The design of this product is solid. The 5/8" diameter aluminum shaft with heavy plastic handle riveted to it is not a cheap assembly. Similarly, the outer body is made of thick, resilient plastic. Still, as per Mr. Midler, it is precisely in the the hidden parts, the "innards," that a Chinese manufacturer will cut corners thereby converting a great product into a little more intercontinental landfill.Practical hint, I used to simply secure this pump under my deck lines. I now tether it with a carabiner and a light rope tied around and under the seat. It's more secure that way and out of the way.
