ASSEMBLY & INFLATION
Choose a flat location to
roll out the hull and
check the area for sharp
objects that may dam-
age it. Remove the boat
from its bag and roll it
out when the area is
ready.
Floorboards
Push the floorboards
into position. The boat
may be very stiff when
first opened making the
floorboards difficult to
install. Open the valves
to allow some air to
move inside. Adding
some air to the cham-
bers may help too.
The floorboards should
overlap in the middle.
As a precaution, put the
valve caps in the valve
to prevent them from
being accidentally
pulled off by the floor-
boards.
Place the long strut onto
the edge of one board.
Lift the boards from the
middle and insert the
edge of the other board
into the strut. Press
down until fully seated.
This step is best done
with two people.
8
Insert the side struts.
If any of the side mate-
rial is under the floor-
boards, it must be
pulled out. Straddle the
boat and hold the board
down with one foot
while pulling up on the
side of the boat.
Motor Mount
(Optional)
Install the motor mount
by inserting the lower
pegs into the mounting
pads.
Then work the upper
pads into their mounts.
You may find it neces-
sary to partially inflate
the boat to make instal-
lation easier. If so, skip
to the next step and
come back to the motor
mount.
Inflation
Close the valves. Twist
the valve stem clock-
wise and allow the stem
to pop up. This will
close the valve for infla-
tion.
