i just inflated my new pontoon with a hand pump and wont do that again
any recommendations on a 12 volt high velocity pump??
Yeah Norm, there are a lot of cigar lighter and battery clip types out there. And ours came with both (an adapticator thingy)
I’d die trying to inflate the kids towables on the pontoon boat!
Here’s some links:
Cabelas offering
Overton’s offerings Type in Inflators.
Overton’s 12 volt $49.95 offering
For a few. I don’t know what mine is, except it’s blue, it works good, and they inflate and deflate your air toys. That deflation mode is great for packing stuff away!
I’m sure there are a lot more offerings out there. 
This just gets me on the notification list…good question…
I bought an electric pump at Dick’s sporting goods. It was about 20 bucks The box says “FUEL Electric Pump DC 12 Volt Inflator/Deflator.” I also bought a hand pump at Cabela’s for topping off the pontoons.
I used my Creek Company ODC Classic today for the first time and used the hand inflator at the lake because I was sitting kind of low and getting my butt wet.

I really like the new pontoon… next stop will be moving water.

I answered this on the other forum, but again for others. It is a bit pricy, but worth every penny.
The LVM. sold at Cabela’s for one and NFO. Like I said, expensive but I have had mine for over 10 years, beat the crap out of it, in fact part of it is now a harden epoxy.
I can pump up my 10 1/2’ Outlaw in 1 1/2 minutes and have videoed it. Still have to top it off with 2 or 3 pumps on the double action or 5 on my K-Pump.
I use it with one of those small rechargeable batteries then I use it for my sonar.
Oh, one more thing…it is small so very portable. Bout the size of a regular can of beer or soda.
FG…what “small rechargeable battery”?
These kind of batteries. Which you can also find in places that sell Alarms.
Thanks,
I forgot to ask…does that air pump have a cigarette lighter attachment?
Nope. Just clamps. Would be easy to convert though.
Figured…again thanks
Back to Normand’s question…we don’t know if he…
Wants to pump at put-in…
Can transport inflated…
Has a vehicle on site…
Uses a battery…
We know his car has one…battery that is.
That is why I mentioned the little rechargeable. I carry a battery and the pump plus all the fittings in a cloth lunch box. Easy and compact.
thanks for responding
i picked up a rule industries pump for $57. it appears to be the same as the lvm except half+ the price

bought it here

That is the same Normand…sweeeeeet!
OK ,Norm…internet search guru…where did you end up finding the $57 deal???
I couldn’t find it past that link???
I KNOW…Naaanaaannaaa:D
take a look at the second link in my post above
Norm, if you use it with your car/truck battery, do it with the engine off. Or if you use a Minnkota or Motorguide motor and battery set up, use your trolling battery.
Norme, does that pump come with alligator clips for the battery terminals or is there a 12v plug for the lighter?
coleman makes a small air pump that runs on 4 D size batteries (BA30) for some of us millitary folks… it fits all sorts of things such as air matresses, rafts, pontoons, anything but tires… its also reversable allowing for fast deflating of whatever you use it on… airs up my pontoon in about 3 minutes… the only thing i dont like about it is that you only get about 10 to 15 uses out of the pump then you have to replace the 4 batteries… it is about the size of a normal coffee cup so its pretty much portable… they have some on ebay fairly reasonable…
this link is a pump on ebay just for air matresses but they have several different pumps…
i received my pump from fedex late yesterday and havent opened the package yet but i believe it has the alligator clips.
ive read reviews of this pump and even the lvm one that they draw alot of power that a cigarette lighter socket cant handle
i will post a photo of it tonite
