Overview

The Bravo 9 raft foot pump for rafts and inflatable kayaks has a six liter main chamber and a 1.5 liter top off chamber. You pull the black plug out of the yellow port and it bypasses the main chamber, pumping air only out of the smaller top-off chamber. This is similar to the Bravo 5 Raft Foot Pump that we also carry. The location of the valve ports on the Bravo 9 are in the way of your foot, so you have to pump with the unit flipped around and your foot on the front edge of the top bellows plate. If you try to pump it with the hinge edge toward your heel, you will very quickly tear off the plastic plug's tether with your foot.

Raft Foot Pump Chambers

The top-off chamber on the B-9 goes to about nine or maybe ten p.s.i. though the manufacturer claims slightly higher. The Bravo 9 Raft Foot Pump weighs about 3-1/2 pounds, a tad less than the Bravo 5.

The plastic clips that hold Bravo raft foot pumps shut tend to break easily. We do have replacements for $3 but we also have a $25 minimum order, so your best bet when the clip breaks is to use a loop of rope or a 2' camlock strap to hold the pump shut.

Manufacturers Raft Foot Pump Specifications

Double chamber with a device allowing the use of the optimal inflating
capacity for both the tubes and the high-pressure floor.
To inflate the tubulars, start inflating with the cap inserted, to
exploit completely the capacity.
To inflate the bottom, follow the same procedure as for the tubulars,
therefore remove the cap. The raft foot pump will use automatically
the smaller chamber only, thus allowing to reach without
effort the pressure of 1.0 bar (14.5 psi).
It is recommended that a SP125/1 pressure gauge (see
page 78) be used to monitor the pressure while inflating.
