1) An undeniable time-saver
The great thing about an electric pump is that you can switch it on and do other things, like prepare your rods, put on your waders or set up your tackle bags, while the boat inflates itself.
It takes between 3 and 15 minutes to inflate your boat, depending on the pump's output, the boat's size and the pressure required.
2) Improved precision
With a hand pump, there's often no pressure gauge to tell you exactly how much pressure the boat is at.
With an electric pump, the pressure is indicated on a display, so you can be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions and not exceed them, which could damage the boat.
3) Less effort
Inflating a boat, especially a Dropstitch, is no easy task. With their 15 Psi of pressure, these boats are long and relatively physical to inflate with a hand pump.
To get your fishing session off to the best possible start, the electric pump is simply perfect! When you fish often, several times a week with an inflatable boat, this type of pump becomes almost indispensable.
4) Space-saving
Finally, the other function of an electric pump is to deflate. When you deflate your boat with a pump, it evacuates the air.
The inflatable then takes up the minimum amount of space, so it's easier to fold, transport and store.
The electric pump is a very practical tool to ensure a more comfortable float-tube fishing session.
