Lomo Kayak Bilge Pump

Our Kayak Bilge Pumps are ideal for canoes, kayaks or any other environment where you need a manual bilge pump. The pump is easily operated by hand will pump water from your kayak quickly and efficiently. The outlet nozzle has a diameter of 25mm and has been designed so that a hose can be fitted if required. Bilge pumps are being increasingly carried by kayakers as an easy way to get water out of your boat after a capsize as many self rescue methods don't get all of the water out of the boat. Canoeists also like these pumps as rough weather or rain can easily start to fill the boat with water. A manual bilge pump like this makes getting the water out really quite easy. The pumps work in both directions, moving water on both the push and pull stroke of the pump and you'll be surprised at just how quickly you can pump out a sizeable amount of water. The bilge pump is a high visibility yellow colour to help it be seen if your drop it into the water or if you want to wave it around to help attract attention. We have fitted a float to the middle of the pump to make sure it stays afloat should you drop it over the side of your kayak. Sea kayakers often strap these pumps to the deck of their boats so they are quickly to hand should the need arise. We also do a different version of this bilge pump that has a hose that comes with it. This is of use for larger boats or for when the water will not make it our over the side of the boat without further help.
