Electric Inflation Pump
There is an electric pump that can be used
for inflating the tender. The pump is located
under the settee in the salon.
This pump switches automatically from a
high-volume blower mechanism to a high-
pressure piston mechanism and shuts off
automatically at the pressure set on the red
dial. The pump is capable of inflating to a
pressure of 11.2 psi which is required for the
high pressure floor but is much too high for
the tubes.
Inflate the tender on the cabin top. The
power cord for the pump will reach through
the dodger and plug into the socket next to
the electric winch. A toggle switch located on
the starboard cabin ceiling must be on to
supply 12 volts.
CAUTION: Be sure to confirm that the
pressure setting is no greater than 3.3 psi when inflating the tubes or you could
damage the boat.
When using the electric inflation pump for the tender, follow these steps:
1. Latch the tube inflation valves in the open position (push and twist the stem in
the valve opening) to improve the air flow into the valve.
2. Set the pressure dial to the minimum setting ( 1.8 psi ) and inflate all tube
chambers just until they are full but not pressurized.
3. Unlatch the tube inflation valves when you remove the pump hose.
4. Inflate the floor and keel to
11.2 psi.
5. Top up the tube chambers with the dial set to 3.3 psi.
6. Do not run for more than 15 minutes at a time, and allow at least 30 minutes to
cool off.
