INSTALLING THE BUOYANCY CHAMBER ON THE
HULL
II-1-INSTALLING THE BUOYANCY CHAMBER ON THE HULL
IF THE BUOYANCY CHAMBER HAS BEEN STORED IN
TEMPERATURES UNDER 0ºC, LEAVE IT IN A TEMPERATE
PLACE (20ºC) FOR TWELVE HOURS BEFORE
INSTALLATION.
1
To facilitate the positioning of the buoyancy chamber, apply liquid soap (A) to the hull rails
2
Position the bolt rope (a) of the buoyancy chamber (b) in the hull rail in the rails situated at the front
of the boat (=> add an "a" and a "b" to the diagram).

- Pull the buoyancy chamber’s first tab towards the aft end of the boat.
- Repeat for the other side of the buoyancy chamber.
- The two protective flaps (sealing and exterior) should pass over the hull’s nose.
- Fix the sealing protective flap to the hull using screws and fabric washers (supplied) by
raising the buoyancy chamber’s nose.
- Bring forward the buoyancy chamber’s nose in order to pull the exterior protective flap
under the hull’s nose.
- Pull the buoyancy chamber’s two tabs again as far as they will stretch towards the stern of
the boat while trying to centre the nose in relation to the forward section of the hull.
Slightly inflate the nose of the buoyancy chamber in order to check that it is well centred and
perfectly hugs the hull. Restart the process if the buoyancy chamber is not correctly
positioned.
