I have a CADDIS "Nevada Gold" float tube. I just got a double action pump today that I'll probably have to return. The male ends of the pump don't match the intake end of the tube. Any suggestions would be gratefully appreciated.

Not quite sure of the size of the tube intake, but if it's about the same size of a car tire valve (1/4 inch), those small 12 volt compressors have a couple attachments to inflate basketballs and such (a needle), and another slim cone shaped attachment that will fit nicely into the tube intake.......check it out. That's what I've been using for years..... just have to find the right sized fitting to attach to the compressor hose.

i just use a piece of plastic hose that fits over the valve and the atatchment you can find them at home depot for like a dollar a foot all you need is like 3 inches
