Pontoon PumpThe float pump, designed originally for pumping out seaplane pontoons, offers the standard features of a “Thirsty-Mate_” pump with the addition of a flexible foot and tapered collar that fits standard funnels in most pontoons. The foot is threaded to accept 1 1/4″ (FH 1-1/4) wire-reinforced hose for those who want to extend the reach of their pump.Add a Float-A-Pump Sleeve (FPS-3R) to provide positive flotation in case the pump slips overboard. This bright red sleeve slides over the foot onto the pump body, providing high visibility as well as flotation.
