Hull Identification Number (HIN) which the first 3 characters must contain the company's Manufactures Identification Code (MIC). Coastal Inflatables, LLC is registered with the Coast Guard and our MIC is CIB. The HIN is a Federal requirement. The Coast Guard maintains a searchable database of MICs.
HOW TO PROPERLY OPERATE AIR VALVE ATTENTION: Do not use a compressed air source (i.e. automotive tire air compressor) to inflate boat. Over inflation through the use of compressed air may result in ruptured seams and will void the warranty. The valve has a special pushpin inside.
ASSEMBLY FOR BOATS WITH INFLATABLE DECK Find flat surface where boat will be assembled. Remove any sharp objects from the area where boat will be assembled and inflated. Unfold and spread boat out flat. Never drag boat on pavement or concrete! ...
ASSEMBLY FOR RIGID INFLATABLE BOATS (RIB) Find flat surface where boat will be assembled. Never drag boat on pavement or concrete! Remove any sharp objects from the area where boat will be assembled and inflated. Connect the pump to the valve by inserting the adapter attached to the pump hose into the valve, turning it until it tightens.

Check the inflatable Keel. If it looks out of shape or won't lie straight, it is because it has been pressed under the weight from being in the box during shipping. Inflate the keel. It will regain its shape when inflated. Then deflated it and it should look straight and should line up with the floor much better! ...

Install the stringers onto each side of the floor. Each side should have a long stringer (unless you are assembling a larger boat). They need to be installed so that they overlap the joints of the aluminum floor pieces. The only purpose of the stringers is to cover the joints of the aluminum panels.
DISASSEMBLE AND DEFLATE BOAT Remove the oars from both sides of the boat. 2. Deflate tubes about 50%. 3. Remove aluminum or air deck, reverse of install process. Deflate Keel. 4. Re-inflate tubes to 100% for cleaning. Clean inside and out. 5.
Store in a dry place. Use care when storing as some rodents love to burrow into a stored inflatable. Store your craft rodent-safe. It is not necessary to store the boat deflated. If space is not an issue it is perfectly fine to leave your boat inflated during off season.
OUTBOARD MOTOR Choose an outboard for the boat that is in accordance with the horsepower range and limit. Refer to the Coastal's manufacturer plate on the boat transom for the maximum outboard capacity. Overpowering can result in difficult handling and/or stability problems with serious consequences.
TOWING THE BOAT If the inflatable boat is to be towed by another boat, the inflatable boat must be empty. Remove outboard, fuel tank, and equipment. A towing bridle is necessary in order to properly tow your boat... ...
Have an approved personal flotation device of suitable size for each person aboard the vessel (it is the law) and have it readily accessible. Do not overload your boat. Coastal boats are rated and certified for maximum load (weight) capacities (refer to your boat capacity plate located on the transom).
