I'm changing from electric to Pnuematic silent choice. Who makes the expolsion proof pumps (compressors). Frankly there does not look like much difference between the high dollar marine one and the cheap tire inflator that you can buy at Walmart.
Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Why are you changing? I just removed my Merc silent choice because it was a PIA. My friend has Corsa with the electric selonoids and never a problem.

The cheapy should work as far as the compressor itself, not accounting for the spark factor. Course could alway mount it elsewhere, but you will need to install a pressure relief valve, and a solenoid to vent the lines for switching.
