Automatic rainwater removal
Water sensing starts a pumping cycle when collected water is present and there is enough battery charge.
Automatic boat cover pump
Give pooled rainwater a way off the cover. RainTaker Mini senses collected water and pumps it away using its own rechargeable battery.
The cover should keep water out Not collect it
Rain can settle in a low pocket on a cover. The water adds weight, makes removal awkward and can spill into the boat when the cover comes off.
A boat cover pump gives that pooled water a discharge route. Mini is a compact option for a suitable supported collection point; the cover still needs the right fit and support.
See how to set it upPower in the unit
The pump carries its own battery. No permanent connection to the boat’s house bank is needed.
Ready for the next setup
Mini is portable. Check charging, support and discharge each time you move it to another collection point.
Support the cover Route the water away
Full setup guideCheck the cover and support
Use a suitable supported location where water collects. Check the cover’s material, slope and load support; the pump does not replace correct cover fitting or support.
Keep discharge outside the cover
Route the hose so the discharged water leaves the cover and the boat. Check the outlet is clear and cannot feed water back into the same pocket.
Check charge and panel exposure
Secure the unit as instructed and keep the solar panel in daylight. Check the sensor, hose and charge before leaving it in use.
Rainwater pumping, powered by the battery
Mini can use stored charge when water collects after dark. Solar replenishes that energy when daylight returns, and compatible AC charging offers another way to prepare it.

Sunlight replenishes the onboard battery.

Stored energy stays ready after dark.

When water arrives, the battery powers the pump.
Automatic sensing
The controller responds to collected water. Standby time and continuous pumping time are different measurements.
Rechargeable power
Around 25–30 minutes of continuous pumping from a full charge without sun. Charge, water volume and hose setup affect available operation.

Can I use Mini to remove water from a boat cover?
Yes, a suitable supported boat cover is one of Mini’s intended applications. Position it where water collects, follow the securing instructions and route the hose away from both the cover and the boat.
Will it work on every cover?
Cover shape, support, material and the collection point matter. Mini does not fix a sagging or poorly supported cover. Ask RainTaker about your cover before purchase if the placement or load support is unclear.
Does a boat cover pump need direct sun to run?
Mini pumps using battery power. Its onboard solar panel replenishes the battery when daylight allows. Keep the panel exposed; stored charge is finite, so pumping after dark depends on what is available.
Does the hose need to go overboard?
Discharged water needs to leave the cover and the boat safely. Keep the outlet clear and arrange the hose so water cannot return to the collection pocket. Follow the model instructions for the actual route.
Is this also a pool-cover or roof-drainage pump?
This page covers boat covers. Pool covers and roofs have different support, placement and drainage requirements. Contact RainTaker for application-specific guidance rather than assuming the boat-cover setup applies.
Take the cover off Get on with your day
Find your RainTaker MiniCan RainTaker be used on all covers?
Yes! The Raintaker® is specifically designed for all covers and awnings: Sunbrella, canvas, polyester and PVC, providing low-profile water removal. Water weighs 8.6 lb per gallon. A strong summer afternoon storm can drop 30+ gallons (258 lb) of water on your cover.
Keeping water off your cover will reduce the chances of stressing interior components (windshields, accessories) while avoiding the growth of mildew and mold. The Raintaker® removes water in real time as it accumulates.
