I was very worried about foot cramps when I installed my pump. I found
that I had about an 1.5" of vertical leeway against the bulkhead.  You
need to leave space above and below the pump for the intake and the
output hoses. 

After testing several heights, I found just the right positioning (for
my feet) that offered the best foot access to the pedal.  While it may
not seem like much, 1.5" makes a big difference in comfort.  I find that
I'm able to empty my larger volume cockpit in a few minutes with no foot
cramps.
