Dinghy Inflator Pump

cmelt2003

I bought a used Saturn dinghy that did not come with a pump. Any suggestions on a good dinghy pump that won’t break the bank?

I got a foot pump style dinghy inflator at the local dinghy shop in town.

Ryobi have a couple of inflaters/pumps that run off their One+ 18V battery range.

I see Dewalt makes one too. I have a bunch of these batteries, so I may go this route. Thanks!

Get a low/hi pressure SUP or dinghy pump - it's worth the difference. You won't have a good time with the battery powered big box store pumps. 

I recommend https://www.seaeagle.com/Accessories/pumps/bravo-bp12-single-stage-high-pressure-electric-pump?AID=531689&PID=7021976&SID=BP12+pump&cjevent=246e8f59821d11e983ef05c60a240614

You don’t think something like this will work? You can set the psi to pump to... plus can use it for other things as well.

I use a small shop vac $40 blow up the dink then suck out the bilge. Poor thing gets a work out.

Same here.  Mine is just one of those cheap ones that fit on a 5 gallon bucket.  Also use to blow up all the inflatables.

You just blow the dinghy up to feel then? Mine has pretty specific psi it wants it to be at.

I will use the foot pump to finish it off. The foot pump stops at the right PSI.
