Mooring
Water Hazards
Beaching
The inflatable boat MUST BE EMPTY
when it is towed by another boat.
The towing line should be secured
to the “D”- rings on each side of the
inflatable boat. The boat must be
under constant supervision when it
is being towed.
Anchoring and mooring lines should
be secured to the bow “D-ring”.
WARNING: For towing use only the
Towing Bridle. Never tow your
tender by the bow ring. The bow
ring should only used to attach a
mooring line.

Storage
Use in High Altitudes
After use, the boat and all
components should be washed with
a mild soap and rinsed with fresh
water. Dry all parts before storing in
the carrying bag. This will help
prevent mold or mildew.
Wooden parts should be inspected
for damage or deterioration. Surface
scratches or abrasions should be
covered with a marine grade varnish.
To keep the boat looking new, store
the boat in a cool and dry place and
avoid excessive exposure to direct
sunlight. UV exposure will degrade
PVC and can result in adhesive failure.
IMPORTANT: Waxes or cleaners
containing alcohol SHOULD NOT be
used on the boat fabric. Alcohol will
prematurely dry out the boat fabric.
PVC has a low resistance to
chemicals. Use MEK and other harsh
cleaners lightly.
1.
To avoid damaging boat during
storage, do not place heavy objects
on it.
Store off the ground. Rodents may
find their way into your boat, creating
nests and chewing through the PVC
materials.
High humidity may affect the adhesive
on the boat. It is best to stoore your
boat in a climate controlled area. 4.
Normal full inflation pressure is 3.6 PSI
for the tubes and 4.5 PSI for the keel
& 8 PSI for the drop stitch inflatable
floor. If the boat is inflated when at
sea level (low altitude) and is brought
to a high altitude (i.e. for use in a
mountain lake), the air pressure must
be reduced at the higher altitude to
prevent over inflation. 1.

Wrecks, reefs, rocky shores,
sandbanks, and shallows should be
avoided or approached with caution.
When boating in unfamiliar waters,
obtain information on local water
hazards before setting out. 1.
2.
It is recommended not to use an
engine when beaching. Do not drag
the boat across rocks, sand, gravel
or on a pavement as damage to the
boat skin may result.
If the boat is to be temporarily left
on a beach, part of the boat should
be left in water so that the internal
heat caused by exposure to sunlight
can escape and so that air pressure
in the tubes can decrease.
Cover the boat to block direct
exposure to sunlight if the boat is to
be removed from the water for an
extended period of time. 1.
