Automatic bilge pumps for boats
A self-contained automatic bilge pump system that senses collected water and pumps it away. Its own battery keeps it working after dark. Recharge with solar or wall power, or add optional 12V charging to Pro.
Come back to the boat.
Not the bucket.
RainTaker senses and removes collected water while you’re away, down to about 1/4″, including the shallow water traditional pumps often leave behind. Less time bailing when you return. More time out on the water.

Founder Joe DePrinzio and his team started RainTaker after rain kept collecting in their Zodiac while they were away. They drew on 20 years in industrial automation to build and test an automatic water-removal system in the U.S.

The PRO model worked great through the Nor’easter this season. Plenty of power. Thank you.

I had it set up in less than 5 minutes. It’s kept my Zodiac free of water for the last 2 months. Well built!

We leave our boat unattended for weeks at a time. After several heavy rainstorms, we returned to find the boat completely dry.

My rotomolded skiff has always held water in the aft bilge because the scupper isn’t located at the lowest point. After installing a Raintaker, I checked the boat following an afternoon of heavy rain and found zero water accumulation. It’s a simple solution that works exactly as advertised.

Works great in my 13′ Whaler on Canandaigua Lake. Recommended.

I have a Zodiac that had a scupper valve fail and I was met with a surprise when I got to my lake house in Gladwin Michigan. I looked for a while to find something that was fully automatic and I’m glad the raintaker worked as advertised. I don’t have to worry about failed scuppers again. I’m too old to be bailing water on my weekends on the water.

I keep my boat on a lift on Smith Mountain Lake in Virginia and the Raintaker has been fantastic. It keeps my boat completely dry after heavy rain without having to worry about batteries or shore power. I installed it in minutes and it just works. Honestly one of the best upgrades I’ve made to my boat.

Works great on my 25’ Sea-Ray. Saves me a bunch of time when covering the boat.
