SeaSense Hand Bilge Pump

Works great. Breaks down fast and is easy to store on the boat. Can be used for anything water transfer jobs. Leaks a tiny bit for the top hose connection but not any amount worrying about. If you’re transferring dirty water just pump a few pumps of clean water through it to clean the hose and pump section.

quickly removes water

This is a nice pump, displaces water fast. The only issue I have is the hose. It doesn't stay on. I can screw it in all the way, ensure it is tight and secure, but after around 3 or 4 pumps it just shoots off. I had originally selected the 72 inch hose, but I guess somehow when I checked out the 36 inch model made its way in my cart. This is slightly irritating because for less hose... I ended up paying 5 dollars more and the hose itself doesn't even stay on. Luckily, for my application I don't really have to have the hose... if I turn the spray a certain direction it just goes where I need it to go. Still, having a hose would be nice in the event I actually needed one. I would still buy it again, but if you need the hose... maybe look for one that doesn't have issues with the hose in the reviews. The product I bought seemed to say ' no leaks in the hose connection...' as if they had fixed the issue based on some of the reviews I read. It still leaks with the model I bought... right before it pops off lol. Outside of that the suction is great, I can empty a stock tank that is 2x4x4 in about ten min if I needed to just with this pump. Materials seem durable.

I originally got this to pump out the water that my pet ducks spill in the chicken coop literally everywhere every single day of their leisure filled lives. However, I found that I can use this in many ways in the farm! During the winter, my pipes outside freeze and I can't get fresh water to my farm animals... Until now! I filled a kiddie pool with fresh water before the temperature dropped and then pumped out fresh water underneath the ice all week! It was amazing. I also use this to pump out enough water from the horse water trough so I can easily dump it over to clean it. If it works this well for farm animals, I'm sure it'll work good on a boat. I wouldn't know since I don't have a boat. My animals took all my money so we don't have a boat. But this little pump was the best small investment ever. Well made and is holding up to daily farm use.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Good reach for pumping without stooping. Moves a lot of water easily, is well made and doesn't leak a drop if you screw in the hose snugly,

Easy to use and quickly drained the remaining water in my fountain the sump pump couldn't reach.

I really like how well it pumps out excess water from my boat. Mostly used for fresh rainwater, but there is some salt water, so I flush fresh water through it after each use. Pump seems well made. We'll see how well the attachment between the main body and hose hold up, but so far it looks solid. I would recommend this pump.

Works fairly well but the hose doesn’t connect securely, leaking water everywhere when pumping out water.

I don’t own a boat, and I don’t go boating. What I bought this for was to unblock an outside drain, it it works a dream to remove the water from said drain in to a bucket. Its absolutely perfect for that. Good value for money, easy to use, hasn’t leaked, has the sucking power to pull the water through it, and it seems to be well made. Really happy with it.

Performs very well

Efficace mais le tuyau d'origine est correct.

Used in my fishing boat

Works great but is much larger than expected. I know it says 36" (ie three feet) but still seems larger. I haven't measured it but i expect the 36" doesn't include the top and handle. Perhaps it does, but it feels quite long, and is much longer than the ones you're see at your local outdoor store, which average 24" or 30" in length. Is able to expel a lot of water in one pump, and makes quick work of a 5 gallon pail of water. Quite handy if you have the space for something this large. If you don't, you may want to opt for one of the smaller models made by the same people.
