If you ever find an “LVM” pump, hand-cuff yourself to its ankles.....they are that good. Commercial rafters call them “screamers”——they make noise when powered up but they push lots of air. I can go from a rolled up inflatable to a workable raft in 3 minutes. Last but not least, you can change the nozzle to a different hole and boom...they’ll pull air out of your raft until it’s flat as a pankcake....you can roll it up into a nice tight package until you want to use it again
NRS used to sell them....not sure why they discontinued, though I heard they have over-heat problems if they’re powered up too long. Mine have lasted for 15 years but I’m inflating 10 footers, not huge river rafts like the commie guys used them for

I had a Eureka moment one day and fitted the wire to a Scotty plug— — works like a charm. I keep one in my truck for river rafting and one in my boat

I bought a sea max as well. I’ll update once I have bothbe aware that not all pumps are the same. some like the LVM cannot inflate more than 1.5PSI. My tender needs 3.2PSI so the LVM would be useless for it.. HP air floors need 10PSI.
Zurk, which one did you get? They have quite the selection.youre better off buying seamax from their office in richmond. you get a discount over the online price and no shipping charges baked in.
i paid CAD $ last time instead of USD$ to seamax (1:1 conversion rate) when i went to their office last time.
