  • Page 23: Floorboard

    ASSEMBLY AND DISASSEMBLY HOW TO INFLATE YOUR QUICKSILVER BOAT 1. Start filling the bow and side chambers (see below for correct sequence). 2. Put in enough pressure to allow the boat to spread out, but do not fully inflate the tube. 3.

  • Page 24: Floorboard Installation (Models With Aluminum Floors)

    ASSEMBLY AND DISASSEMBLY Floorboard Installation (Models with Aluminum Floors) Quicksilver inflatable boats that are equipped with an inflatable or a non‑inflatable floorboard must be operated only with these floorboards properly installed. Using the boat without provided floorboard is unsafe, uncomfortable, and might result in damage to the boat.
  • Page 25 ASSEMBLY AND DISASSEMBLY If you fully inflate the air deck, it will push itself underneath the tube and it will stay there tight in its place. In the back of the boat there are two transom tracks fixed against the transom. To fix the floor at the transom, you have to slide the flaps that are attached at the back of the floor through the track.

  • Page 26: Slatted Floor Installation

    ASSEMBLY AND DISASSEMBLY 4. Inflate the air floor to minimum 700 mb, maximum 825 mb. Quicksilver double action pump is recommended for inflation of the air floor. DO NOT use a compressed air source unless it is outfitted with a pressure regulator set to 825 mb.

  • Page 27: Drain Plug (Alu-Rib Models)

    ASSEMBLY AND DISASSEMBLY Drain Plug (Alu‑RIB Models) The Alu‑Rib and Alu‑Rib Ultra Light series are equipped with a drain plug in the transom. The plug must be installed when the boat is exposed to water. The hull cavity plug must be regularly removed to allow collected water to escape from the inner hull (bilge).

  • Page 28: Console Installation (Alu-Rib Models)

    ASSEMBLY AND DISASSEMBLY Position of the outboard engine: The outboard motor must be so installed that in the normal running position, it stands vertically in the water. This means that the "cavitation plate" on the low side or the outboard engine is horizontal in the water if the boat is lying in its normal position.

  • Page 29: Folding The Boat

    ASSEMBLY AND DISASSEMBLY • Make sure the valve stays open (to enable the air to get out during folding). • Push evenly on the whole boat to let as much air out as possible. Folding the Boat • Lay the boat down on the floor. •...

  • Page 30: Transportation

    TRANSPORTATION Lifting the Boat Out of the Water Make sure there are no sharp edges under the boat on the place where you want to lift the boat out of the water. Try to use the handgrips and bow handle for lifting instead of the lifelines and towing D‑rings.

  • Page 31: Operations And Safety Instructions

    OPERATIONS AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Lanyard Stop Switch The purpose of a lanyard stop switch is to stop the engine when the operator moves far enough away from the operator's position to activate the switch. This would occur if the operator accidentally falls overboard or moves within the boat a sufficient distance from the operator's position.

  • Page 32: Stability And Buoyancy

    OPERATIONS AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS • Know the waters and area you will be boating; tides, currents, sand bars, rocks, and other hazards. Stability and Buoyancy BILGE WATER IMPORTANT: Bilge water should be kept to a minimum. POSITION OF PERSONS AND LUGGAGE For safe operation it is advised to have people sit in the middle of the boat as much as possible.
  • Page 33 OPERATIONS AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS SINGLE OPERATION. When operating under power without passengers, DO NOT SIT on inflation tubes or seat, weight should be as far forward and, in the middle, as possible. Avoid heavy weights near the transom. RAPID ACCELERATION should be avoided to prevent the possibility of backward flip‑overs.

  • Page 34: Hazards

    OPERATIONS AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Hazards AIR CHAMBER FAILURE Your Quicksilver boat is designed with more than one air chamber. In the event one of the air chambers leaks due to a puncture, the boat will at least save 50% of the buoyancy. Shift the weight to the opposite side. Secure the leaking chamber as necessary (by tying‑up or holding‑up) and immediately proceed to the nearest shore or mother ship, whichever is nearest.

  • Page 35: Unaided Reboarding

    OPERATIONS AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Unaided Reboarding In the event you fall out of the boat, use the following reboarding procedure to get back into the boat. • Hold onto the lifeline fixed to the top of the hull side tubes. •...

  • Page 36: Maintenance
