Pump Help for Winterizing

Beckson Pump

Nov 10, 2022

Preparing a boat for winter storage involves moving a lot of liquids before the cover goes on. With Beckson Marine’s 109PC Siphon-Mate® Pump, removing the last remains of bilge, freshwater tank, and holding tank water, and other fluids is fast and easy. Add a 212PC Handy-Mate Oil Change Pump and removing and replacing engine coolant and oil is just as quick.

Self-priming Beckson pumps are non-metallic, so they’re safe to use around combustibles and they won’t scratch delicate finishes. Made from durable marine plastic, they won’t get sticky from corrosion, nor rust.

The 109PC Siphon-Mate Pump is a safe alternative to starting a siphon by sucking on a tube. It acts as a positive displacement hand lift pump with valves and will siphon at a flow rate of 1 gal/min. through its supplied 8′ of clear tubing. The pump is 11-1/2″ L, and lifts 4 fl. oz. per stroke.

At only 12-3/4″ long, the Beckson model 212PC Handy-Mate Oil Change Pump is compact for use in confined spaces. Impervious to diesel fuel and motor oil, it moves 8 fl. oz. with each stroke. The pump comes with two flexible red intake tubes, 22″ L x 1/2″ dia. and 36″ L x 1/4″ dia., and a 10″ L x 1-1/4″ dia. red discharge tube.

Beckson Marine’s 109PC Siphon-Mate Pump lists for US$53.85. The 212PC Handy-Mate Oil Change Pump is US$40.25.

The Whitsunday Islands

By Mathew Channer

On my first day as a commercially registered yacht captain, I sailed a Fontaine Pajot 38 catamaran from mainland Australia across the Whitsunday Passage to the western shores of the world-famous Whitsunday islands.

We cruised northeast on a 15-knot beam reach… perfect catamaran sailing conditions, watching the hazy shapes of the islands colourize and morph into crescent beaches, jungled ridgelines and rocky outcrops.
