REGISTRATION NUMBERS
Many localities require registration and to display a registration number on the
boat. Once you have been issued a number, it is best to affix it to the boat by
printing it directly on the material by the use of a permanent ink marker or
stickers. A small square registration sticker may also be issued.
ASSEMBLY & INFLATION
PVC Boats
1. Unfold your new boat in an area that is free of sharp objects
and debris.
2.
There are 3 main air chambers, each has a stem valve. There are two
stem valves in the floor and one in the side. Inflate in this order: Floor
then Side Chamber.
3. Inflate using a high volume / low pressure pump meant for inflatables.
Do not inflate above .6 psi boat should be firm but not hard. Use of an
air compressor may damage your boat and void the warranties.
DEFLATION
Deflate with a deflating pump, or insert a small straw, or other small object (no
sharp objects) to hold the safety flap open. Remove and roll up towards the
valve to fully deflate.
STORING
1. To prevent mildew and foul odors, allow your boat to completely dry out
before storing.
2. For long term storage in the sun, protect your boat with a breathable
cover.
3. Rodents chew on fabric including inflatable boat material. Store it away
from rodents.
4. If you choose to store your boat inflated, make sure you do not subject
it to deformations.
REPAIRS
1. Clean the damaged area and the patch material with alcohol.
2. Humidity should be less than 60%.
3. Temperature should be between 65º F - 77º F (18º C - 25º C).
4. Do not repair in the rain or in direct sunlight.
5. Check that the tube is fully deflated and is flat.
6. Draw the shape of the patch exactly where it will be applied, cut out a
round patch at least 2” (5 cm) larger than the damaged area.
7. Apply 3 thin layers of glue on both the patch and the damaged area.
Allow it to dry for 5 minutes between layers until the glue feels tacky.
When the third layer of glue is dry, apply the patch without pressing and
adjust the positioning if required. Press out air bubbles by smoothing the
patch with a round object such as a spoon, starting at the center of the
patch, rolling towards the outside.
WARNING
PERFORM REPAIRS IN A WELL VENTILATED AREA. AVOID INHALING
GLUE VAPORS OR SWALLOWING. AVOID CONTACT WITH SKIN AND
EYES. KEEP REPAIR MATERIALS AWAY FROM CHILDREN.
