All Sea Eagle Sport Runabouts
have two side stringers on each
side for a total of 4. These sturdy
aluminum parts serve to strengthen
the structure of the boat and keep
the floorboards tight. Make sure the
keel is slightly inflated, then insert
the smaller of the two side stringers
first at the bow of the boat. Use a
rolling motion to put the stringers in
place.
Inflation & Floor Assembly for 8.10 YT
Yacht Tender and 10.6 SR-RIK with
drop stitch floors.
The 8.10 YT and 10.6 SR-RIK feature a High Pressure Drop Stitch
Floor. This simple flooring system is far lighter and does not need any
assembly. The 8.10 YT & 10.6 SR-RIK, as mentioned earlier, come
with a special A50 High Pressure Foot Pump.
Partially inflate the bow, port and
starboard chambers to about 10% -
20% using the A50 High Pressure
Double Chamber Foot Pump.
Make
sure to close the black cap of the
foot pump to inflate these chambers.
Closing the black cap engages the
larger chamber of the A50 foot pump
and permits more air volume.
HINT: It is very helpful to place an object under the
bow such as a box or a bucket to prop it up. This
makes insertion of stringers far easier because the
floorboards will be on the same plane.
Please note, SE 10.6 SR-RIK Drop Stitch Floor has an
aluminum crossboard under it for extra support. In
addition, the SE 10.6 SR-RIK transom has anchor
fitting which the slide fittings on the drop floor have to
be attached to - see picture at right. This is a one-time
only assembly. Afterwards, simply leave drop stitch
floor in boat and roll up with boat.
Place the inflatable floor in the SE 8.10YT or
the SE 10.6 SR-RIK. The Recessed One Way
valve of the floor should be facing up in the
bow of the boat (in the case of the SE 10.6 SR-
RIK it is just behind the valve for the outside
keel - please note in case of SE 10.6 SR-RIK,
inflate floor first and keel second). Insert the
Valve Adapter in the Recessed One-Way Valve to connect the A50
Foot Pump. The High Pressure Drop Stitch Floor has to be inflated to
7 psi. In the case of the SE 10.6 SR-RIK inflate the outside keel to 7
psi after you have fully inflated the drop stitch floor. Hint - pump
becomes difficult to inflate once you reach 7 psi.
To inflate the high pressure floor, make
sure to remove the black cap of the A50
Foot Pump. By doing so the A50 Foot
Pump uses only the smaller chamber, thus
allowing it to reach 7 psi without much
effort.
The High Pressure Drop Stitch Floor
becomes hard as a basketball. Once the floor
(and in the case of the SE 10.6 SR-RIK) is
fully inflated, withdraw the adapter and close the valve cap.
Continue to finish inflation of the side chambers. Again make sure to
close the black cap of the A50 foot pump to inflate the side chambers
to 3.2 psi. Continue to pump with the foot pump till you cannot get any
more air in.
Finish inflation - Sport Runabouts
Inflate all hull chambers to 100%, or 3.2 PSI. The main air chambers
on our transom boats cannot be over inflated with our A-41 foot pump
foot pump. A chamber reaches its optimum pressure when you can no
longer pump any more air into it with a foot pump. The foot pump at
this stage becomes very hard and it will not be possible to inflate the
chamber any further.
IMPORTANT
: For the new 10.6 SR, 12.6 SR & 14 SR RIK (rigid
inflatable keel) models with outside drop stich keel - inflate the keel to
max pressure possible with the A-41 pump. This new outside
dropstitch keel greatly improve steering performance and structural
strength of these boats. In addition, it softens the impact of the ride
and smoothness of the ride as it goes through waves.
Deflation
To deflate a chamber, simply turn the valve
stem clockwise with your thumb to secure it
in the down position. This will let the air out
of your boat. Our boats do not require a
pump for deflation.
