ASSEMBLY FOR BOATS WITH INFLATABLE DECK 

 

Find flat surface where boat will be assembled. 

 

Remove any sharp objects from the area where boat will be 

assembled and inflated. 

 

Unfold and spread boat out flat. 

Never drag boat on 

pavement or concrete!

 

 

Connect the pump to the valve by inserting the adapter attached 

to the pump hose into the valve, turning it until it tightens. Do 

not force it; simply turn it until it locks into place. When 
inflating the boat with the hand pump, it is normal for the hand 

pump to leak some air where the adapter connects to the valve. 

Continue to pump until the tubes become hard.

 

 

Inflate the three tubes (Bow, Starboard & Port) to about 50%. If 
the air rushes out when you detach the adapter from the valve, 
you need to turn the pushpin in the center of the valve (see 
above). 

 

Unfold and stretch out the inflatable deck, edging it under the 
half-inflated tubes and against the transom making sure the 
deck is under the tubes as well as the boards attached to the 
bottom of the transom. 

 

 If the keel valve does not line up with the opening located near 
the bow, remove the floor, and inflate the keel to get any folds 
that may have formed during shipping. Deflate the keel; it 
should regain its proper shape. Re-inflate the three tubes to 
about 50% making sure the keel valve now aligns with open in 
the deck.  

 

Inflate the air deck to about 70% 

 

Install the aluminum seats into the seat straps. 

 

Inflate the three tubes to 100%.  

 

Inflate the air deck to 100%.  

 

Inflate the keel to 100%.  

 

Install the oars. 

 

GO BOATING!!!

 

What is 100% full? Inflate the tubes & floor until the hand pump  

becomes somewhat difficult to push down.
