No matter what type of boater you are, you probably have something on your boat that requires an air pump to inflate it. AirheadĀ® has created a rechargeable 12-volt air pump that's both convenient and versatile. It comes equipped with a 120-volt AC charger and a 12-volt charger that plugs into cigarette lighters. When it's charged, there are no cords to mess with. The pump's outfitted with three adapters to fit valves on towables, pool toys, airbeds and other inflatables. It will inflate or deflate continuously for 15 minutes on a charge. Peak air pressure is 0.64 psi, and it draws 11.3 amps. Airhead's air pump retails for $29.99. (800) 624-1297, www.airhead.com.
