yes it does take a while to empty water out - I've got a skerray, also with signficant foam in the cockpit. It also leaves more water in the cockpit than I am entirely happy with. But I have it and am happy to not spend more $$s at the moment and its a neat, low maintenance pump.

If I get dissatisfied with it I'll probably end up with a rule type pump. I'm avoiding it at the moment as I'd rather not drill my rear bulkhead and run a a battery lead through it. However, some advice from tasmania, I believe the source (or at least a major innovator) of using such bilge pumps, is that you can use the 12v batteries mounted in the cockpit  no problem.
 
Any experience on this?
