(With integrated stiffening plates in bow and stern) Dear customer, You have purchased a nortik scubi 1 – a hybrid of an inflatable and folding boat, which has been designed for recreational use. The body stiffness results from the frame structure on the one hand, on the other hand from the sponsons.

2) Assembling Please read the assembling instruction carefully and follow each step as described. After a few times of assembling you won't need the instruction anymore. Stern Unfold the sponsons (left picture). Right behind the middle the sponsons are connected by the inflating tubes.

Now attach the sponsons with the Velcros at the end to the small rods at the bow stem. Attention: The sleeves for the cross ribs and the two longer Velcros (see arrow on the left) have to face inwards. Put the Velcros around the small rods at the stem and close them.

This should result in the left picture. Insert the bow and the stern segments (with the attached sponsons) in the hull. (see above) Important for the insertion: There have been "stiffening plates" integrated into bow and stern. They lay inside a sleeve inside the hull.

Then bow and stern segment are connected. Therefore, take out the split pin from the keel rod. Pull the to keel rods upwards outside the hull and join them (as shown in the picture). The rod with the riveted half tube has to be "on top"...

Then insert the two smaller cross ribs behind and in front of the cockpit from the top into the sleeves on the sponsons. It is important to insert the cross ribs completely.

Now there is the bag with the plate inside left. It has two functions: On the one hand you can stow the packing bag of your nortik scubi 1. On the other hand you push the whole bag inside the bow with the plate pointing to the cockpit and attach it to the Velcros. Thus, the sponsons (which are not inflated, yet!) are pushed apart, which provides more space for your feet.

Is there too much pressure in the sponsons, these can be damaged. Please ensure that you let air out when your nortik scubi 1 is in the sun for longer time. The perfect pressure is 0.25 bar (3.63 psi). You can buy the nortik manometer for your air pump to control this exactly.

Depending on the type of use, other keel strips or partial reinforcements of the skin are recommended. If necessary, ask for it in specialized dealers. We are looking forward to review, praise, or whatever else you want to share about your nortik scubi 1! Please contact us: kontakt@nortik.com...
