Versatile Pump for Pontoons and Seaplanes
This float pump is designed for efficient water removal from seaplane pontoons and offers the essential features of a "Thirsty-Mate" pump. It is equipped with a flexible foot and a tapered collar that fits standard funnels found in most pontoons. The foot is designed to accommodate a 1 1/4" (FH 1-1/4) wire-reinforced hose for those looking to extend the pump's reach.
For added safety, consider the Float-A-Pump Sleeve (FPS-3R), which provides positive flotation should the pump accidentally slip overboard. This eye-catching red sleeve easily slides over the foot onto the pump body, enhancing both visibility and flotation.
