This last point is an issue. I have mounted the Rule pump as close as
possible to the bottom of the shallow V hull of my boat. The pump starts
pumping air when about 1.5 cm of water is still in the boat. I can get a bit
more with the foot pump, but the last mop-up is with a sponge, or later on
the beach. Does anyone have a pump system which gets down to the last drop?
