Bombard AX2 Pump

[seaesta]

Just recieved my nice new Bombard AX2 dingy. Unpacked it and checked the inventory and found there is no pump. The manual shows one with a 2 stage conventional type pump. Called the supplier who says the AX2 does not come with a pump as there are two small bellows in the bow which can be used for inflation.
Is this right - has anyone elase got a pump with theirs?
The tender was my birthday present and I feel like someone has just piddled on my firework.

The supplier is correct.

A friend of mine sells inflatables, and when he sold Bombard AX2's, there was no pump supplied other than the fitted bellows. The AX3 comes with a pump as it does not have bellows.

The bellows do not really pump it up hard enough, so you ought to get a foot pump.

I bought mine 3 years. Doesn't have any bellows. Had to buy a pump. I thought it a bit strange but I did get it at a very good price. I would presumably need a pump for the airdeck anyway.

I used mine a lot last weekend having hardly used it in the past and found that I could sit on the tube with just me (15st) aboard without getting a wet bum, in flat water at least. My grand-daughter liked it too /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I bought my AX2 also without a pump, the bellows in the bow are more than enough to do the job.
