Owning a high-performance HO Sports tube requires the right support gear. A tube is only as good as the air inside it; under-inflated tubes create drag, damage covers, and provide a sluggish ride. At The Drop, we provide the specialized equipment to keep your towables "drum-tight" and functional.
High-Volume Pumps
Standard air mattress pumps won't cut it for a 4-person chariot. We stock HO Sports pumps designed specifically for the high-volume, low-pressure requirements of towables:
- 12V Electric Pumps: Powered by your boat or vehicle's accessory outlet, these move massive amounts of air quickly.
- Dual-Action Manual Pumps: Perfect for "topping off" a tube on the swim platform to ensure it stays rock-solid even as the water temperature cools the air inside.
Replacement Boston Valves and Caps
The Boston Valve is the industry standard for quick inflation and deflation, but they are easy to lose or cross-thread. We carry authentic HO replacement valves and square-base caps to ensure a perfect, airtight seal. Pro-tip: Always keep a spare valve in your boat’s glove box—it's the cheapest way to "insurance-proof" your weekend.
Heavy-Duty Patch Kits
Even the toughest 840-denier nylon covers can't always protect against a sharp rock or a stray hook. Our PVC-specific patch kits and adhesives are designed to create a flexible, permanent bond that holds under the high pressure of a towed tube. These aren't temporary stickers; they are professional-grade repairs that extend the life of your investment.
