Hello and welcome to the forum.

Your Honwave is the high pressure air floor I assume? Just be sure elec pumps you look at will go up to the pressure you need.

I've had a Bravo for a good few years now. They can throw up faults when they are a few years old but when working are probably the best... at a price.

There are alternatives at about half the cost but they often have a slower fill capacity.

Few pumps will come with the Honwave valve fitting as standard... but just buy the end you need separately.

Sevylor

I have just received a Sevylor 12v pump which seems pretty good (runs from car or battery which I also bought). Took a while for it to arrive though...

I use a bravo 20, which is now around 2 years old and still working fine,it has a rechargeable battery in the pump( replacement battery around £25), also comes with clips to run the pump from a car battery, and a cable to charge the pump battery from a cigarette/ 12v power socket in your car, some wild variations on price on the web ,from around £139 to around £200, comes in a great bag as well but no Honwave valve connector

happy with the purchace and beats the foot pump any day.

I bought one of these to us on my xs rib, however none of the fittings supplied seem to suit my valves. Did you need an adapter to be able to use it or am I just being stupid?

Valve adaptor for C7 inflation valves.

Sevylor and Itiwit also make decent pumps.


I have the Bravo and the connestions are buggers to fit anything

Except an Aerotec and other Zodiacs where the standard Bravo connection is a straight fit.

Update guys, the ITIWIT pump was only in Decathlon Brighton, no where else, so i had a look online and got the Airgo pump from Go Outdoors, It was 45 pounds with a 5 pound discount card which i already had.



Specs are listed as:

Twin motor pump which inflates quickly at 280L/min initially to 0.9PSI, then switches to high pressure mode to a max 12PSI at 40L/min.

Not as fast as a Bravo pump spec wise, i tested it to make sure it works on the Aerotec air deck and it seemed to be ok.

One thing that i noted prior to buying was there is a lot of negative reviews actually most where negative, it seems like the pump sits at 0.45 psi for 2 mins before it kicks into high mode, which doesn't state that in specs, i did squeeze the air deck and the digital readout did raise and lower, so i guess maybe the specs listed are wrong in the way it works and most people dont wait for the 2 mins before the high pump kicks in, who knows.



I did inflate 5 times to see how it worked and for sure it is the same every time.





Either way solid lump of a pump and as a local buy worth looking out for, listed url is below.



Regards

I also bought the Decathlon one. None of the fittings included were suitable for my Honwave (Halkey Roberts type) so I'm going to find & order a suitable adapter. I could have cannibalised my foot pump (thanks for the idea Duggie12) but wanted to keep it as a reserve in case the Itiwit fails. I don't have the room at home to keep the boat inflated all summer so I'm hoping this is the less energetic, slightly lazy answer :-)

My valves are Leafield C7 so have ordered an adapter from the Ribshop.

Pilgrim you now have several threads running so I'll use this one to say welcome to the forum from me.

Do bear in mind you don't need a pump to go up to the high pressure needed by air floor SIBs.... your tubes and keel are what we'd call low pressure.

So I'd do a bit of research on the LP models looking for the best airflow rate as your SIB is quite large and many of the cheaper HP capable pumps are low volume output.

The expensive Bravo models usually have the greatest flow rate sometimes by a factor of 3x compared to a budget pump which makes a great difference to inflation times and how hard the pump has to work.
