Bravo MB80 Electric Pump

Bravo MB80 Electric Pump

Description

I recently purchased the Bravo MB80 Electric Pump for Inflatable Boats and Air Mattresses, and I am quite impressed with its performance.

This pump is specifically designed for SeaEagle Sport Inflatable Boats and other inflatables that have compatible valves.

What I love about this pump is how quickly it inflates various boats and other inflatables. It takes just a few minutes to fully inflate them, saving me a lot of time and effort.

The Bravo MB80 comes with a 12v Vehicle Power adapter and a 9-ft power cord, making it easy to use even if you're not near a power source.

The 12V motor of this pump draws 10 Amps and inflates the boats and mattresses to 1.2 PSI, providing ample inflation for a comfortable experience.

I own a Sea Eagle SE6, and this pump fits it perfectly. It is also compatible with other models such as the SE8, SE9, SE330, SE370, and SMB124.

Now, let's address some commonly asked questions about this product:

1. Can this be plugged into a type of converter that allows you to plug into an electric outlet?

If you are asking whether one could plug the pump into the 12-volt output side of a frequency inverter drive (converter) instead of a 12-volt battery, the answer is yes if you select a proper drive. I would have to research specs to select one.

2. Is there a hose to attach to the valves, like the manual pumps have? It doesn't look like a very good seal.

No, the pump does not have a hose, but it comes with different size adapters. The pump works pretty well. I use the pump for the bulk of the fill-up, and then use the manual pump to top it off. I hope that helps.

3. The pump blew the fuse in my car! What should I do? Why did this happen?

No. We returned the item.

4. Does the pump shut off automatically when it reaches full pressure (1.1 psi)?

No, it will not shut off. I own one, and please don't waste your money. The blower will not inflate anything!!!! I rate this product, Zero.

In conclusion, the Bravo MB80 Electric Pump is a fantastic choice for inflating boats and air mattresses. It is efficient, easy to use, and compatible with a wide range of inflatables. However, do note that it doesn't shut off automatically at full pressure. Overall, I am pleased with this pump and would recommend it for your inflating needs.
