Attwood Marine Hand Bilge Pump, 8 GPM, Plastic, Floating Grip

Overview

This Attwood Marine hand bilge pump is a manual, non-automatic pump for clearing water from kayaks, canoes, and other small boats without relying on wiring or battery power. The range includes 18 in and 24 in body lengths, with the larger configuration paired with a 32 in hose for directing discharge farther from the boat.

With a pumping capacity of up to 8 gallons per minute, this is a practical safety item for paddle craft, dinghies, small fishing boats, and compact open boats where standing water needs to be removed quickly. The hand grip helps the pump stay afloat if it is dropped overboard, which matters when gear is loose in a cockpit, cockpit well, or kayak hatch area.

Key features

• Manual hand operation works without a battery, wiring, switches, or through-hull plumbing.
• Moves up to 8 gallons per minute to help clear rainwater, spray, or nuisance water from small craft.
• Available in 18 in and 24 in body lengths for different storage spaces and reach needs.
• 24 in version includes a 32 in hose to help direct water away from the cockpit or bilge area.
• Comfortable hand grip helps the pump float if it is dropped into the water.
• Plastic construction keeps the pump light enough to carry aboard as safety gear.
• Useful for kayaks, canoes, small fishing boats, dinghies, and other boats where an electric bilge pump is not fitted or not practical.

Variants

This product is offered in two configurations for small-boat and paddle-craft use.

The main differences are the intended application and body length. The 24 in version also includes a hose, while the 18 in kayak version does not require one.

• 11595-2: For kayaks and other small boats, with an 18 in body length. This shorter version is easier to stow in a kayak, canoe, or small cockpit where space is limited.
• 11596-2: For small boats, with a 24 in body length. This longer version adds reach and includes a 32 in hose for sending water farther from the pickup point.

Use on board

This pump fits the kind of boating where simple gear matters: kayak fishing, canoe trips, tender use, small skiffs, and backup dewatering on boats that already have an electric bilge pump. It is especially useful when water collects in low spots after rain, spray, launching, or a wet re-entry.

Installation and storage

No electrical installation is needed. Store the pump where it can be reached quickly, such as under a kayak deck bungee, inside a hatch, near the helm of a small open boat, or with emergency gear. After use in saltwater or dirty water, rinse it with fresh water and let it drain before storage.
