Beckson Thirsty Mate Pump 24" w/24" Flexible Hose

The Beckson Thirsty Mate Pump 24" with 24" Flexible Hose is a self-priming hand pump designed for reliable freshwater or fluid transfer aboard vessels of all sizes. Manufactured in the USA from corrosion-resistant materials, this pump delivers the dependable performance serious boaters and anglers expect when managing water systems on the water. The 24-inch rigid pump body paired with 24 inches of flexible hose provides convenient reach to tanks and reservoirs without requiring permanent installation modifications.

The angled top sleeve design improves ergonomics during extended use, reducing hand fatigue during routine water pumping tasks. Self-priming capability means the pump operates immediately without requiring manual priming or preparation—a critical feature when you need quick access to fresh water or when responding to bilge situations. The construction resists rust and corrosion inherent to salt-air and marine environments, protecting your investment through seasons of use. Should the foot valve assembly become clogged, the design allows straightforward disassembly for cleaning without requiring professional service or specialized tools. Replacement foot valve assemblies and hose sections are readily available from marine suppliers, ensuring long-term serviceability.

This pump suits weekend cruisers, fishing boats, and offshore vessels where reliable freshwater delivery or fluid transfer is essential. Compact weight of 0.9 lbs and modest footprint make installation practical for vessels with limited cabin or engine room space. Whether managing galley water systems, washing down decks, or transferring fuel or other fluids, the Beckson Thirsty Mate delivers consistent, maintainable performance. The combination of USA manufacturing, corrosion-resistant design, and field-serviceable construction positions this pump as a practical choice for boaters who prioritize dependability and ease of maintenance over their operating season.
