The H2P, 70
mm
– 2¾”, High pressure floor (Fig 1) is a fast deployment inflatable structure designed to
work with the FC 470® Evo 7, whose main attribute is to be inflated completely with a 100ft³ off the
shelf SCUBA bottle. It provides rigidity to the FC 470® in lieu of the traditional hard deck or slated
aluminium roll-up floor and unlike a rigid floor, lives permanently in and with the boat when it is rolled-
up for storage. Quick release buckle operated sheathes are installed on the aft area of this floorboard
section to secure a SCUBA bottle, should the boat be deployed with such a system.
It is secured in the:
-
Bow
-
Transom
-
Side buoyancy tubes
In is adjusted to the bow skirt with the lacing (Fig. 4). It is adjusted on the transom (Fig 2) by two
securing cuffs, located on the floor, which are inserted into the transom batten retaining groove on the
transom. On the floor of the deck are four retaining straps, these are connected to the retaining
buckles which are located on the main buoyancy tubes (Fig 3).
