The safety regs for racing often require a 5 gallon bucket with a line on the handle. The line was certainly useful.

A portable Honda-powered trash
pump would not be a bad idea at all if space permits. And of course a big old
bronze strainer for the end of the inlet hose, unless it's an alloy
hull that is!
Bring a fire nozzle for the outlet hose too maybe? Never know when that might come in handy.
