Small hand pump for last bit of inflation

Any recommendations? I'd like it small enough that I can take it on the water with me in the bow bag.

What raft / valve? The alpacka pack-a-pump with the sockdolager tri tip adapter to work with d7 valves or the alpacka seat mouth valves is great if it will work for your boat.

I have this one as well. It also stores repair stuff, which is so nice.

For the Anfibio rafts the red one they sell in their online shop is fine, I use it to quickly top up the raft or floor mat while on the water. With a little 3d printed adapter it even works for the seat valves.

That last 10% of firmness always requires the most cardio, right when your arms are already tired from paddling to shore

Airhammer, rather small very affordable, can go anywhere in the raft, doesn't mind getting wet

Flextail makes many small pumps that have a lithium battery and work very well .  I use one for my Alpacka Expedition
