OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES
ROLL UP FLOOR
Illustrations in APPENDIX page A-7
The slatted floorboard decking, arranged in a folding mat (Fig. 1), is completely removable and is able
to roll up normally with the fold of the boat. It is constructed as a single, mat-type roll-up flooring
system consisting of slats made from anodized aluminum that are factory covered with wear-proof
fabric. Quick release buckle operated sheathes are installed on the aft area of this floorboard section
to secure a SCUBA bottle, should the boat be deployed with such a system.
ASSEMBLY OF THE ROLL UP FLOOR:
It is secured in the bow to the bow skirt (Fig. 2) and between the transom and the transom retaining
batten in the aft (Fig. 3).
It is adjusted on the transom (Fig. 4) by two tension straps from floor to transom. Tighten straps 1” or
2.5cm past snug, and on the sides by placing the floor under the rubber triangular extrusion glued to
the bottom of the buoyancy tube on either sides of the transom inside the boat. (Fig. 3).
When using this type of floor the maximum engine power is 40 HP.
Place the floor at the bottom of the boat and make sure it is correctly placed in the corner
reinforcements.
Lightly inflate the buoyancy tube (this helps the floor to take its place).
Make sure the floor is under the rubber triangular extrusions (found on the bottom of the main
buoyancy tube).
Secure the floor in the bow to the bow skirt with the lacing.
Secure the two tension straps onto the transom.
Tighten straps 2.5cm or 1” past the snug.
ALUMINUM FLOORBOARDS
Illustrations in APPENDIX page A-8
The Aluminum floor is used when the boat requires a higher rate of speed, mobility and
maneuverability, better directional control through high sea conditions, as well as achieving better fuel
economy. The optional aluminum floorboards are made of lightweight anodized marine aluminum, are
self-locking and come in three panels and bow board(s) with two securing aluminum stringers. With
practical training, the time required to install the rigid flooring system can be reduced to only a few
minutes.
An aluminum floorboard hard deck system with its stringers does not allow the use of automatic
inflation. The automatic inflation system can be used once the hard floorboard decking has been
assembled. When the slatted floorboard decking is not preferred for use, it is easily removed and as
easily replaced with the optional aluminum floorboards.
The stringers (A7, Fig. 3) are essential to the seaworthiness of the boat. They lock in the floorboards
and assure the rigidity of the entire structure.
ASSEMBLY OF THE ALUMINUM FLOORBOARDS:
Illustrations in APPENDIX page A-8
Use soap & water at the corner reinforcements (c) (between the buoyancy tube and the bottom),
to slide & make it easier to position the floorboard elements (Fig. 1-B).
ATTENTION: NEVER USE TALCUM POWDER
as they contain Silicones, which are harmful to the boat.
Inspect each element to understand how it will be assembled.
The order of assembly of each element is indicated on a label in the upper right-hand-corner of
each floorboard,
The bow floorboard section has an upside and a down side position. The upside is identifiable by
a label of the sun (8) (Fig. 3). If the label is lost, use the lines on the aluminum junction profiles to
guide you, they are apparent when assembling.
Lightly inflate the buoyancy tube (this helps the elements to take their place).
Slide the bow floorboard (Fig. 4) into the corner reinforcement (c) (Fig. 1-B).
