Nice one - we got there a bit late but did pick up a small compass, fishing rod holders for the A Frame, battery cut off switch, 2 x fire extinguishers (sp) and a water tight hatch lid (just need to build a water tight hatch for the lid to fit )

If it's one of the square electric pumps, I used a length of vinyl garden hose and hose clamped it to the pump and to the valve adaptor.

I've found the yellow plastic hose continually cracks and leaks just when you need it the most.
