When you’re docking in a stiff breeze or pumping out a leaky kayak, you need your gear to work. No questions, no failures. This is the simple idea behind every Beckson product. For over 60 years, Beckson Marine has built a reputation on rock-solid reliability, pioneering high-strength, corrosion-proof plastic gear that won't let you down. From their legendary pumps to their innovative deck plates, this is gear built by boaters, for boaters.
What does ‘value’ mean in boating? For Beckson, it’s not just about a good price. It's the hand pump that works flawlessly in a storm. It's the boat hook that doesn't collapse. It's the deck plate thread that doesn't jam with sand.
Founded in 1955, Beckson was one of the first to master all-plastic marine gear, moving away from metal parts that corrode, stain, and seize. Their products are lighter, tougher, and require almost no maintenance. This focus on practical, real-world performance is what makes this brand a standard for boat builders and boat owners alike.
Beckson built its name on the humble hand pump, and that legacy of reliability continues today. A good manual pump is a vital piece of safety gear, especially for small vessels. We stock pumps designed for the rough-and-tumble life on a sea kayak or tender. These aren't just bilge pumps; they are lightweight, high-capacity, and tough-as-nails. They won't corrode, and their simple, strong construction means they are ready to perform when you need them most.
Upgrading your boat's light and ventilation is simple with the Beckson range of portlights. Forget heavy, leak-prone metal frames that cause condensation and staining. Beckson ports use advanced, high-impact materials for a long-lasting, leak-free fit.
We offer a full range of options to suit your vessel. Choose classic fixed portlights to let maximum light into the cabin, or select opening ports that are perfect for adding fresh airflow to your galley or head. We even carry spare parts, like replacement cam latch assemblies, to keep your existing ports in perfect working order for years to come.
Beckson re-invented the deck plate. Instead of fighting with a spanner wrench, their pry-out deck plates give you fast, tool-free access to valves, wiring, or inspection points. And for their screw-out models, they pioneered a self-cleaning buttress thread that is specially designed to clear sand and grit, preventing jams.
It’s a simple, clever design that solves one of boating's most common frustrations. Installing one of these deck plates means you get simple, reliable access, year after year.
A tidy boat is a safe boat. Beckson storage solutions are built from the same tough, UV-stable materials as their hardware. Keep your essentials secure and within reach with their smart accessories.
We carry durable dual-size drink holders to stop cans and bottles from sliding around, as well as 'Soft-Mate' holders that cushion your VHF radio or phone. These aren't flimsy add-ons; they are built to last and are a simple way to make your time on the water more organised and enjoyable.
For boaters who value reliability over flash, Beckson is the smart choice. From their world-class portlights to their legendary pumps, you can trust this gear to perform. Browse our complete range of Beckson products and order online today for fast delivery anywhere in Australia.
