Welcome to the family of NRS boat owners. We take great pride in building high-performance
inflatables that provide many years of enjoyment. Give us a call at 800.635.5202, or drop us a
line at [email protected] if we can help in any way. We love talking about boats!
INFLATION
Inflating Rafts:
To properly inflate your NRS Outlaw raft, valves need to be in the closed position. Push the valve stem in and
turn it clockwise so that the stem pops up, sealing the valve. To inflate the perimeter tube chambers, choose
a chamber to inflate first. Fill the chamber with air until it takes shape, filled out but not firm. Your goal is to get
equal pressure on both sides of the baffles that separate the chambers.
Important Tip:
We highly recommend that you purchase a pressure gauge; maintaining optimum pressure in
your boat’s chambers is essential to its best performance and longevity.
Work your way around the boat, turning each valve stem clockwise to seal the valve before filling each
chamber evenly. Then go around the boat again, using a hand pump to fill each chamber to full pressure. If
you have a pressure gauge, check to make sure the pressure in the chambers does not exceed 2.5 pounds
per square inch (psi). If you do not have a gauge, check the pressure by pressing down with your thumb. The
fabric should depress slightly. If there’s no “give”, it’s probably overinflated. After the perimeter chambers are
full, inflate the thwarts to 2.5 psi.
Start by inflating the drop-stitch floor insert on your Outlaw to 8-10 psi. It can be inflated to 15 psi if needed for
performance.
Inflating Catarafts:
Outlaw cataraft tubes have three chambers. To properly inflate the tubes, begin with the center chamber,
filling it until it takes shape; inflate the two end chambers to a maximum of 2.5 psi each. Then, top-off the
center chamber to 2.5 psi.
Inflating IKs:
To properly inflate your Outlaw IK, inflate both main tubes until they take shape. Then, top them off to 2.5 psi.
Because of the small tube size, slight overinflation is acceptable to increase performance. Inflate the drop-
stitch floor insert on your Outlaw IK to an initial pressure of 8-10 psi. It can be inflated up to 15 psi if needed
for performance. Last, inflate the thwart(s) to full shape.
