Wooden Avon Foot Pump Required

[Ribtecer]

Hi all

I am looking for an Avon Foot Pump, the type I'm after is the last of the wooden ones as per this image.

Many thanks

I have one but it needs some TLC on the seam. If you PM me your email I'll send some pics

Good luck. I have one, it’s a prized possession, the best dinghy pump I’ve owned in over 30 years. But I guess you already know that, it’s why you want one!

I didn't know that.

I borrowed one to test a dinghy I recently bought, and on test day I either left it at the slip way or it was nicked out of the dinghy - not sure which but I suspect the later.

I just want to replace it with like for like.

If anyone has one they would like to sell it would get me out of a fix.

Many thanks

Bravo 10s were supplied with Avons latterly, certainly after the Zodiac takeover but possibly before too; functionally they are as good if not as aesthetically pleasing, they also deflate as well as inflate.

I have one. In Maine. They are built to last! $100.00 shipped.

I have one but rarely use it. I keep it as a spare so it is not up for grabs. However, I have a Colemans upright pump & have adapted the hose to take the avon valve connector with a bit of pipe & a jubilee clip. It pumps the dinghy far faster & does not skate about the floor like the standard one. It is also better on deck as I can keep my foot on the base to hold it in place whilst pumping by hand
I would genuinely recommend some lateral thinking on your part
