The Beckson Thirsty-Mate Hand Pump is manufactured in the U.S.A. of the finest materials available, proudly offered by The Outdoor Warehouse. Delivering dependable manual water removal without the need for electricity, this marine-grade hand pump will not rust, corrode, or mar your boat’s finish. It stands as a reliable, essential tool for boathouses, open skiffs, and emergency bilge kits.
