INFLATION SYSTEM (CON’T)
KEEL AUTOMATIC INFLATION SYSTEM
The keel automatic inflation system comes provided in a bag (in the boat). It permits the inflation of the
keel from the Main Buoyancy Tube. This is achieved through the accessory composed of two banjo
fittings, one into the bow of the main buoyancy tube & one into the keel valve. This keel inflation valve
has a ball valve that blocks the inflation hoses, so as to isolate the keel from the main buoyancy tube
during navigation.
OVERPRESSURE VALVE
(1) valve cap (2) overpressure valve (3) valve
base
The overpressure valves are equipped with a
non-return valve set to the desired pressure.
When inflating:
Remove the valve caps.
Stop inflating when air escapes (the correct
pressure has been reached).
When deflating:
The valve caps must be installed on the
overpressure valves.

WARNING
••••
NEVER INFLATE A BOAT WITH THE CAPS INSTALLED ON THE
OVERPRESSURE VALVES.
••••
REMOVE THE CAPS BEFORE INFLATING AND REINSTALL THEM
AFTER INFLATING.
••••
THE CAPS SHOULD REMAIN INSTALLED WHILE THE BOAT IS
ON THE WATER AND REMOVED WHEN THE BOAT IS NO
LONGER IN THE WATER.
••••
VALVE OPERATION SHOULD BE CHECKED FREQUENTLY.
••••
TIGHTEN THE CAPS ON THE VALVES GENTLY, ONLY ½ TURN.
LOWER BUOYANCY TUBE INFLATION
Lower Buoyancy Tube inflation hoses are a permanent fixture as they are permanently part of the
boat. To isolate the Lower Buoyancy Tubes from the Main Buoyancy Tube, simply tighten the butterfly
wing nut on the lower buoyancy tube clamps to close any air communication and unscrew them to let
the air through for automatic lower buoyancy tubes inflation.
Main Buoyancy Tube to Lower Buoyancy Tube inflation,
through hose with clamp, situated on the outboard transom,
Port & Starboard.
