Boat full of rainwater again? Tired of hand bailing your boat, skiff or zodiak? Then purchase a battery operated, solar charged Sun Pump - click here!

The Sun Pump is a solar powered bilge pump that keeps your unattended boat from filling with rain water! The Sun Pump automatically bails your boat of rainwater and then solar recharges it’s battery when the sun reappears. Specifically designed for freshwater aluminum boats, Jon boats, skiffs and zodiacs.

Created and built in Canada since 2009, the original version Sun Pump has been tested and endorsed by Cottage Life Magazine and is used by hundreds of boaters across North America.

Based on years of customer feedback, we redesigned our original version 1.0 Sun Pump to incorporate a smaller footprint, a designated, injection moulded case, a 12V emergency power socket, an integrated float switch/bilge pump and a simple push button switch for manual operation. The 3 watt solar panel trickle charges the 12 volt sealed lead acid battery that powers the 500 gallon per hour marine bilge pump. The integrated float switch activates the pump when rainwater depth reaches 2 1/2". It will then discharge rainwater through the bilge hose, over the transom, down to a water depth of 1 1/4". The remainder of the water can be removed using the push button switch.

The new 2.0 Sun Pump measures 13" long x 8" wide x 6" tall and weighs just 11 lbs. Now smaller in size, it can be transported easily with one hand and can be secured to your transom via the motor cable or chain through the injection molded pump case handle. It ships completely assembled and fully charged with a 3' bilge hose and a releasable, durable, zip tie strap. (1 year warranty)
