On my raft, a Seago, the bag is well longer than it needs to be. One end is designed to be cut off to allow the removal of the raft for servicing. To reseal the bag, it is simply folded over a couple of times and retained in place with tape. There is a small valve at the opposite end to which you attach a dinghy pump with the appropriate nozzle. Set the pump to suck not blow, suck all the air out. Job done....
Out of the raft, or out of the vacuum-pack bag?
The bag is heat-sealed to close it, like a supermarket leg of lamb. Even if you can apply the vacuum using a hoover, how do you seal the bag up?
