220 mbar of the front hose chambers. In practice it has been shown that 220 mbar is completely sufficient.
The maximum chamber pressure for the carrying/drive hoses must
not exceed 250 mbar
.
When the pumping process is finished, you must close the valves with the corresponding protective covers.
The hose chambers are equipped with safety overpressure valves so that any excess pressure can be
compensated. With the pressure gauge included in the delivery you can check the correct filling, or you can
use an electric pump with corresponding adjustment possibilities.
Always make sure that the valve adapter
is correctly locked and keep a proper distance during the pumping process, so that no injuries are caused if
the air hose should jump off!
Note - Fixation seam:
When you have inflated the driving tubes you will see a split seam. This seam is
not a defect but a so-called fixation seam, which is set during the production
process so that the connecting bottom can be glued at right angles to the two
driving hoses. When inflating, this fixation seam opens up and the separated
stitch threads can be seen, which rub away over time.
Step 4 (only applies to open transom):
4 Allen screws transom plate:
Fasten the transom plate to the four fastening tongues with the supplied
screws. The screws are guided from the inside to the outside through the fixing tongues into the transom
plate with a fitted retaining ring and a fitted washer, and are first screwed by hand into the press-in nuts at
the rear. Please make sure that the screws can be screwed into the nuts easily. Please make sure that there
is a retaining ring and a washer under each screw head. The final fixing is done with the help of the supplied
Allen wrench. Tighten the screws well by hand, do not use brute force when screwing them together.
Rear view mirror plates with central screw and ring nut:
The longitudinal tubes of the two transom bars must be moistened with some water or rinsing solution
before being inserted into your guides, so that they can be inserted into the guides without much effort.
Place the smaller rear view mirror plate with the type plate on the stainless steel mountings of the transom
tubes from the front. Then hold the larger transom plate from behind against the transom tubes and insert
the central fastening nut with a slipped on spacer through the fastening hole. Coat the last threads of the
fastening screw e.g. lightly with transparent Liqui Moly lubricant. Then tighten the ring nut with a spacer
washer by hand. Fix the central transom mounting with a 17 mm socket wrench and a counter rod for the
ring nut. Do not use brute force when screwing it on. Greasing the threads serves to prevent the threads of
the screw and ring nut from sticking, which V4A stainless steel tends to do. You can find a video illustration

When installing an outboard (short shaft), it is
essential to ensure that
the support plates of the toggle
fittings of the outboard mounting do not press in the upper transom bar and cause structural damage. If
necessary use a spacer plate (applies only to open transom).
Outboards with long shaft or extra long shaft must not be used. The transom tubes must not be used as
towing brackets. Only the tow rings in the stern and bow area are used for towing. In order to avoid
damage, it is essential to ensure gentle gas changes.
Step 5:
Place the two black floor end tabs on the left and right over the lower transom mount and close the
respective Velcro fasteners. The middle bottom flap is used for drainage and is simply led outwards below
the transom mount.
