3. Assembly / Inflation
The Stowaway Yacht Tender is completely assembled from the factory.
However after cleaning your boat you will have to re-assemble.
Insert the inflatable keel into the boat with the valve pointing to the front and up. The
keel is secured in its position by means of Velcro straps. Follow the Fig. A and B.
Insert the inflatable floor into the boat and spread it evenly so the edges of the floor fit
under the sponsons of the boat. See Fig. C. The aluminium plate reinforces the floor and
pushes the keel down for more rigidity. Do not remove the reinforcing aluminium plate.

Before you begin inflation close the valves. (See section
4. Valve operation
)
To inflate pump the main tubes up to 24kPa / 4.0 psi so the tube feels firm. Use the pro-
vided foot bellow pump on low pressure setting. See Fig. D
Inflate the floor of your boat to 60kPa / 10psi so it feels hard (Fig. E) and inflate the keel
to the same pressure as the floor (Fig. F). To pump volume air keep the black plug in
place. To pump pressure remove the plug.

When finished with inflation, assemble the oars and secure in the oar locks.
Secure the seat in the seat holders.
