Technical Specifications

The 30L/min pumping capacity is the advertised performance figure. Actual water removal will depend on pumping speed, conditions and use.

Remove Water from Your Kayak Quickly

Water can enter a kayak through waves, splashing, rain or accidental flooding.

Excess water adds weight and can make a kayak more difficult to manoeuvre, particularly when paddling in changing conditions.

The Manual Kayak Bilge Pump provides a convenient way to remove accumulated water from accessible areas of your craft.

Its hand-operated design allows the paddler to pump water out without relying on an electrical system.

This is particularly useful for sit-inside kayaks, where water can collect inside the cockpit.

30 Litres Per Minute Pumping Capacity

The pump has an advertised pumping capacity of up to 30L/min, providing a practical water removal rate for a compact handheld unit.

This makes it useful for:

• Removing water from a kayak cockpit

• Clearing accumulated rainwater

• Pumping water from a small dinghy

• Removing splashed water from a canoe

• General small-boat water removal

Actual performance will vary depending on pumping technique and operating conditions.

Floating Construction

One of the most useful features of this kayak bilge pump is its floating design.

Equipment can easily be dropped overboard when operating a kayak or small boat.

The pump is designed to float, helping make it easier to recover if accidentally dropped into the water.

For added security, store the pump in an accessible location and secure it appropriately when travelling.

Soft-Grip Handle

The kayak bilge pump features a soft-grip handle for convenient manual operation.

The handle provides a comfortable gripping surface when pumping water from a kayak or dinghy.

This is particularly useful when repeated pumping strokes are required to remove accumulated water.

Supplied with 32mm Outlet Hose

The pump comes with a 32mm diameter outlet hose measuring 330mm long.

The hose helps direct discharged water away from the pumping area.

When operating the pump, position the hose outlet so that water is discharged safely overboard rather than back into the kayak.

The short hose is designed for compact use, so check that it can reach beyond the side of your particular watercraft.

Compact Design for Kayak Storage

Space aboard a kayak is limited, making compact safety and maintenance equipment particularly useful.

The Manual Bilge Pump measures approximately:

• 392mm overall length

• 102mm overall width

• 49mm base diameter

Its compact design makes it practical for storing in an accessible location aboard a compatible kayak or small boat.

The included storage bag helps keep the pump and accessories together when not in use.

Ideal for Sit-Inside Kayaks

Sit-inside kayaks can accumulate water in the cockpit through waves, rain or accidental flooding.

A manual bilge pump provides a practical way to remove water after a suitable self-rescue or while the kayak is stable enough to operate the pump safely.

It can be used alongside appropriate kayaking safety equipment, including a properly fitted personal flotation device and other equipment suitable for the paddling conditions.

A bilge pump does not replace the need for self-rescue skills or appropriate rescue assistance.
