An automatic inflator device includes a housing that houses various operational components of the automatic inflator device such as a power source that is electrically coupled to a pump. A coupling portion attached to the housing selectively secures the automatic inflator device to an inflatable object, such as an inflatable watercraft, where the automatic inflator device may remain secured even while the inflatable object remains fully operational, such as while the inflatable object is in use. The pump may be selectively energized to pump air into the inflatable object via a fluid conduit. For example, the pump may be energized or de-energized based on user input or automatically based on a measured pressure of the inflatable object. Optionally, the automatic inflator device may be incorporated into an inlet valve of the inflatable object as the inflatable object is originally manufactured.
