Yet another pump question.
I'm looking for an electric pump for my boat but I've got a bit of a power restriction in that it'll have to be powered by my cigarette lighter socket on the boat-my battery is a pain in the neck to get to. I think I've narrowed it down to the smaller Bravo. Any comments on this versus other electric pumps and power consumption?

Thanks David,

All I could find online was the 'average draw' on the Bravo BST 12 at 9a and the Rule being 25a. I need to have a rethink.

I took the other option and uprated my ciggie socket to a Magcode Pro socket rated at 25A.

Unfortunately I don't have that option without quite a lot of work

Could you not set up a flying lead direct from the battery like I did?

Just realised-I don't need to even use the lighter socket. I can croc clip onto the starter solenoid. Hopefully the lead is long enough....
