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.

New Boats: Beneteau Oceanis 34.1 – A Sleek, Good -Looking Delight To Sail

By Katherine Stone

There is nothing more that I enjoy than being with friends and messing about in boats. Messing about in brand-new boats on a champagne sailing day on Lake Ontario at the beginning of the summer doesn’t get any better. To have the new owner, Helmuth Strobel and Anchor Yachts dealer Pancho Jimenez aboard made it even more special, as they can also speak to what they truly enjoy about the boat. We keep our own boat in a harbour that has a long waiting list for boats over 35 feet, so this little gem would definitely fit the bill and feels like a much bigger boat. True to the spirit of the 7th generation Oceanis line, the 34.1 is built in Poland and replaces the 35.1. It is 1,000 lbs lighter, 14 cm narrower and has 29% more sail area.
