All hatch covers are also fitted with a rubber gasket to improve sealing and
suppress noise.
In case of the need for a large livewell, a kit is optional to convert this area
to a livewell.
Boarding ladder is found at port side of the transom and can be lowered by
pulling it out. It is telescopic.
2.2. FOR INFLATABLE BOATS
2.2.A. INFLATION/DEFLATION
The boat has inflation chambers around the hull. The recommended
maximum pressure for the chambers is 240mbar. Under normal use, slight
overpressure can be used, however, the boat should never be used while
the tubes are underinflated.
Although NorthStar inflatables are tested with over pressurizing and will
withstand overpressures up to 30% caused by temperature differences, it
is very important that the pressure of the chambers are checked
periodically and adjusted to a maximum of 240mbar to prevent premature
wear and failure of tubes.
INFLATION
Inflate the tubes to 60-70% of the recommended maximum pressure
in the following order - preinflation:
1. Port aft chamber
2. Starboard aft chamber
3. Port front chamber
4. Starboard front chamber
5. Bow chamber
Then, fill the chambers to the recommended pressure in the same order.
DEFLATION
Deflate the tubes to 25 – 35% of the recommended pressure in the
reverse of the inflation order (starting from bow chamber) –
predeflation:
Then you can deflate all of the remaining air.
Do not inflate a single section fully before pre-inflating other chambers first.
Do not deflate a single section fully before pre-deflating other chambers
first.
2.2.B. DECK FITTINGS AND GENERAL INFORMATION
Water collected in the deck (rain, washing water, etc.) will automatically
drain out of the boat through hull fittings on each side of the transom.
Some residual water may remain on the sides of the tubes.
The boat is provided with handles on the tubes for safety. There is a strong
ring at the bow section of the fiberglass deck to tie anchor line.
As supplied, RM series RIBs come with a flat plywood/frp deck which is
covered with non skid gelcoat. The boat can be fitted with a manual
outboard but also, more popularly, can be fitted with a variety of
console/seat arrangements.
The nature of this RM deck enables infinite mounting locations for
consoles, seats and equipment. Intended more for the professional user,
care must be observed during the installation of these items to not to
