Some cars have different Amp ratings on the cigarette lighters. Typically you want the larger amp rating socket 5amp Plus. Usually this is the one closer to main dashboard area. Thanks for Outdoor Master shark review! So far I have already gone though two iSUP pumps, one the hose failed and not easy to replace; The other the pump itself failed over time. my iSUP also requires around 18-20 PSI.
I bought one of these and after I had pumped up my board to the maximum 20 psi pressure (according to the "Shark"), I connected the Red Paddle Co manual pump to see what the gauge on that measured the pressure at. After a couple of pump strokes to pressurise the hose, it read 15 psi. I have ordered a pump adaptor so I can check the pressure with an accurate gauge but I have doubts that my pump is achieving the advertised pressure.
Thanks for the info, would you update once you find out if you have a minute. If your suspicions are correct I’d like to update the description on the video.
i just bought this pump Down Sides 1) the cord is only 10 feet long thus when plugged into my cab will not reach the front or back of a RAM 1500 , thus I have to pump up ISUP in parking Stall next to me or use 3 parking spots to place ISUb off of parking lot gravel or pavement. 2 ) I am 68 and the hand Pump is just as if not faster to pump up a 11 foot all-round . 3) Hose dose not allow you to place Pump Flat once all hooked up.
In fairness Daniel you make some valid points. I’ve (at 65) taken to using the hand pump more, mainly because the electric pumps are damn noisy and I go out in areas populated by sleeping boaters early in the morning. I have a euro Ford Ranger and as you say if I were to plug it in the cab I’d have the same problem as you. I fitted extra power sockets in the bed because I have a few other bits I plug in there. You’re absolutely right on the hose as well, I’d just never considered it but indeed the pump is always on the tilt when in use. Maybe I’ll have to do an “after some time in use” review. Thanks for the comments.
Read the output wattage of the pump and you can extrapolate what you need for a 12v source. (Ohms law) BTW a car typically has a 12v10a power port. A Truck is higher 12a or 15a.
Yes that’s true enough. So, according to the label it’s 110w. To explain for people that might wonder, the minimalist version of Ohm’s law is Volts = Amps X Resistance (V=IxR) and Watts = Amps x Volts (W=IxV) These equations can be rearranged to suit a situation where we have two of the variables so: 110 Watts divided by 12 Volts = 9.17 Amps (I=W/V). So lets say 9 - 10 amps. In terms of the available power from the vehicle power socket, my UK Renault Trafic van has a fuse rating of 15 Amps (plenty enough) and bizarrely my wife’s Seat Ateca has a rating of 20 Amps so I’d suggest anybody wondering what their own vehicle is should check the actual fuse or preferably the owners book (in case somebody swapped your correct fuse for a higher rating). The issue I had with the blown fuse was that I had a cheap multi socket between the pump and the actual power socket and that’s what had failed. Once I threw that away it was fine. I now have a heavy duty cable running to the back of the van and I’ve swapped out the cigarette lighter plug for a heavy duty Deutsch connector running from an individual 15 Amp fuse
Sometimes the sockets in Sometimes the sockets in the back of cars don't have the power to supply the amps, so best to use the socket in or near the dashboard. If you have a moment drop Maelstrom Products an email They sell these pump at the best price in the uk. and being a small business would appreciate your support.
You’re not wrong Oli… My preferred river time is early morning so I’m going to be really popular 🙄 Trouble for me is that at my age if I pump it up manually I need to go lie down for an hour 😂😂
@@oldmanwith 😂 It’s is a bit of a mission. I’ve got the 3 stage 2 cylinder pump from iRocker, so it’s not too bad doing it manually. I see people struggling with cheaper pumps and I don’t envy them at all!

Loud as hell isn’t it! Puts me off wanting to use one. Rather get a sweat on and do it quietly myself
