The 9 Best Marine suction Pumps (2023 reviews)

The jabsco electric pump's material feels more premium than its price would suggest. It's a fairly common fitting on many engines. It is designed with a dipstick tube insert or fashion your own. The intake side of the pump has a connector like the female end of a garden hose. It fits perfect and no more oil mess in the bilge. The hose is hard plastic, not soft rubber, so heat is very helpful in mating the two pieces.

The hose is stiff and you cannot insert it over the pump barbs. It takes very minimal effort, and you can feel the oil come up in to the tube as the pump gets a little tighter. It is easy to hook up with the hose fitting going right on the dipstick and the discharge hose is just long enough to put in your waste container without getting in the way.

Why We Like This:

Makes quick work of a normally dirty and time consuming job
Works fantastic, quick and know mess to clean up
Pulls the oil up the dipstick and out of engine
Excellent pump, discard and replace the supplied hose

Best For Bilge Pump: Better Boat Marine suction Pump

Buy on Amazon

This bilge pump can handle sand and water. It filters out the small rocks and is effective in pumping out water. It works well to remove all amounts of water occasionally. There are plastic ribs on the bottom of the pump which prevents totally extracting water. The pump works great, however the hose is extremely stiff and permanently curled and difficult to use.

This pump works great and it is easy to store in the kayak. It comes with a few pumps of this manual bilge pump, where the water is extracted. A 39" long hose lets you reach deep areas to discharge with ease.

Why We Like This:

Great value for boats, canoes, or any liquid pumping needs
Easy to set up, simple to use, efficiently pumps water, what's not to love
Good brand reputation

Best For sinks: Best Marine And outdoors Marine suction Pump

Buy on Amazon

The best marine and outdoors marine suction pump gives the top-tier pump a run for their money by offering flagship specs at a much more affordable price. It feels pretty sturdy and moves water pretty well. It comes with a longer second hose. It fits perfectly into the 1.5" diameter pvc pipe access point to the well. The pump works great, but it’s a little difficult to keep the end of the hose in the water while you’re pumping. It is used for canoes or smaller for small spills.

The plunger is a little stiff at the beginning, but a small amount of light lubricant and some use made it very smooth. The suction is good and it gets the job done fast.

Why We Like This:

Need to worry about it falling from the boat
Moves quite a bit of water efficiently
Works well and fairly easy to use
Does a fast job, floats, is easy to use

Best With Switch: Jabsco Marine suction Pump

Buy on Amazon

If you want nothing less than best desirable pump, then jabsco marine suction pump is the one you should definitely consider. This is best suited to change oil on boats where the dipstick tube is designed for this operation, not all vehicles can have their oil changed this way. It is a diaphragm pump so this pump does not have an impeller. It comes with a small diameter (1/8-1/4" or so) clear plastic hose. The oil change system will suck out the oil from any location providing the oil is hot. It is good as removing the oil pan drain plug.

It is top heavy when empty, so you can not really carry it by handle because it tries to flip over and if there is still some residual oil in the pump it will run out on the floor.

Why We Like This:

New and hot release
Delivers what they promise

Best For changing oil: Pactrade Marine suction Pump

Buy on Amazon

This is the bestPress on dipstick tube and slowly pump even with cool oil and fast oil change. It is an inexpensive brass-bodies manual pump. This high quality hand pump is 9" in length and it comes with 6mm, 8mm, and 12mm plastic tubes for your work convenience. The suction pump screwed on to the hose fitting built into the dip stick tube and worked fine. It comes with longer tubes (inlet and outlet), but it's a good value nonetheless.

This VERY greatly improved the ability to quickly and easily suck the oil from the crankcase and it only took about a minute to remove nearly 4 quarts of oil. The pump takes some strength to get going, and has a pretty strong suction recoil.

Why We Like This:

Saves time to change oil and virtually eliminates the mess
High quality 9" long self priming brass hand pump
Comes with 6mm, 8mm and 12mm plastic tubes
