Sea-sucker vacuum cups (mounting system)
Saturday, September 25, 2010 1:38
SEA-SUCKER manufactures a range of powerful vacuum cups to be fit on any plain surface where you want a temporary mounting. You do not need to drill a hole on the boat and the strength of the temporary mounting system is as good as a permanent attachment. The mountings work on powerful vacuum pumps that come with a vacuum-piston. There is an indicator red line that shows till there’s any air in the vacuum. You just need to place it against a plane surface and piston out the air till the red line disappears. The holding strength of this little device will surely amaze you.
A 4.5” mounter can hold more than 100 lbs, a 6” mounter can hold more than 200 lbs. For extra holding power multiple such devices can be attached to an aluminum track mount. If you feel the vacuum grip loosening under weight, you can see that in the re-appearance of the red line in the indicator of the integrated piston. Then you need to put in just a few more pumps to let the red line disappear again. The integrated piston system even makes the removal of the sea-sucker mounting grip an easy task.
These products are vacuum pumps, and not suction cups. The integrated piston system makes them far more durable than the suction cups. The red-line safety feature is also an unique feature along with the piston system. The products have been made to resist the impact of saltwater environment. All the parts of the SEA_SUCKER mounting system are made up of stainless steel or high-strength plastic to combat corrosion.
The holders can hold almost anything, from dive tanks, fishing rods, Radar, VHF, GPS and anything that you want to be placed temporarily anywhere.
The manufacturer’s site displays 8 different kinds of vacuum mounters (kind of synchronizes with the OCTOPUS of the company logo; an Octopus has eight tentacles.). The minimum price enlisted in the company is 47.99$ and the maximum price is 139.99$.
SEA-SUCKER summarizes the special features of these vacuum pump mounts in four distinct features. Te features are Easy-to-use, Powerful, Versatile and Reusable. The reusable feature refers to the fact that the mounter can be attached to any plain surface of the boat, whenever the sailor thinks so. The versatility of the mounters enables it to hold anything under specific weight and size limitations.
