If you’re axle-deep in sand or mud every weekend, you need a safe and convenient way to mount your recovery boards or jack that doesn’t require drilling into your truck’s sheet metal. Sound familiar? Then our SeaSucker Vacuum Recovery Mount for Traction Boards and Jacks (SM2700) from Nomadic Supply Company are perfect for you!
Simply thread the SeaSucker Vacuum Recovery Mount for Traction Boards and Jacks (SM2700) bolt through a slot on your recovery boards or holes on your jack, spin on the anodized aluminum lock knob, and pump the three powerful SeaSucker vacuum mounts for a secure hold. SeaSucker Vacuum Recovery Mount for Traction Boards and Jacks (SM2700) come three per set, so you have plenty of different mounting configurations to choose from.
SeaSuckers are vacuum mounts, not suction cups. There’s a big difference between the two. First, each 6″ SeaSucker vacuum mount is pull rated at over 210 lbs. Each 4.5” SeaSucker is pull rated at over 120 lbs. Suction cups also lack one incredibly important safety feature: the indicator band. SeaSucker’s orange indicator band begins to appear once the vacuum mount loses some of its suction, letting you know it’s time to re-pump well before it detaches.

SeaSucker Vacuum Recovery Mount for Traction Boards and Jacks (SM2700) FAQ’s:
Q: How strong are the vacuum mounts?
A: “Strong like bull.” 4.5” vacuum mounts have a rated pull strength of 120lbs, pulling straight out from center. Pull strength on a shear load, i.e. pulling from the side, will be less. 6” vacuum mounts are 210lbs rated. Obviously, putting multiple vacuum mounts on a single product multiplies the maximum holding power.
Q: How long do the vacuum mounts last before they lose power?
A: There’s no set time limit on our vacuum mounts. It depends in part on the surface you attach to, the condition of the vacuum mount, the load you put on it, and other factors. As for surfaces to attach to, vacuum mounts in general were designed to carry big sheets of glass and other solid surface materials, so smoother, flatter surfaces are ideal. Clean surfaces and clean SeaSuckers go a long way to maximizing the hold time. In any event, if the vacuum mount begins to lose some vacuum, it will warn you so you can get it back to full power before it comes off. The vacuum pump’s plunger will extend from the pump cylinder when it starts to lose power, revealing an orange indicator band. Once you see orange, that’s your cue to repump your SeaSucker. For car racks, the simplest thing to do is to check the rack before you get in your vehicle, and check it each time you stop for gas, food, or the bathroom.
Q: Do I need to clean the surface I’m going to attach my SeaSucker to?
A: Clean off any surface dirt from the mounting surface before attaching your SeaSucker. While you’re at it, make sure the sealing edge of the vacuum pad is clean too. You don’t have to clean the mounting surface with alcohol wipes, as one overly-enthusiastic customer told us they do, but a quick wipe with a wet paper towel or napkin wouldn’t hurt.
