Beckson 24 in Thirsty-Mate Hand Pump with 72 in Hose

The Beckson Thirsty-Mate 24-inch hand pump removes standing water without an electrical connection. This version includes a 72-inch reinforced flexible hose for routing discharge away from the work area. Its self-priming plunger design is useful for bilges, compartments, and other accessible low spots.

The pump's long flexible hose can be routed outside a cockpit or into a collection container away from the work point. Its self-priming plunger has an angled upper sleeve and the familiar red T-handle. If the intake becomes obstructed, the foot valve is removable for cleaning.

Beckson lists approximately 6 strokes per gallon and a nominal capacity of 10 gallons per minute for this 24-inch model. Those figures describe the pump design, while actual hand operation and discharge height affect flow. Choose this 72-inch hose configuration when the discharge point is at the appropriate distance from the water being removed. The longer hose is useful when the outlet is several feet from the standing water. Browse more bilge pumps.
