Re: how to inflate AB dinghy

I have two dinghies: one is permanently inflated and sits on deck and the other is stowed under the upturned inflated one. It takes me about 3 minutes to inflate one and top-up the other using my small workshop vacuum cleaner configured to blow instead of suck. It works a treat as a dinghy pump, to suck up small (up to 5 litres) spills (diesel, water, bilge) and as a bonus is also a vacuum cleaner. All for 35 Euros.

Re: how to inflate AB dinghy

good tip on vacuum, I've purchased a small intex and it pumps good.

also purchased the halkey adaptor yet to try electric pump, yet to repair front tubes leak.
