Introduction
Introduced in 2001, the PaddleSki Series has been a huge hit.
These boats inflate in minutes and get you to hidden spots that
other kayaks just can't reach. The unique catamaran/kayak
design allows you to skim above the water at high speed on
two catamaran tubes.
Paddleski 395ps
The 395ps fits two adults comfortably, but is tight and
compact. It can be rowed, fished, sailed, motored or paddled -
All the versatility you can want in a boat.
Paddleski 435ps
This larger model is 14' long and features 14" diameter tubes.
It is capable of carrying two heavy adults and gear for extended
camping trips. The 435ps can be sailed with two adults
comfortably with the optional Sail Rig, and can accommodate
two Rowing Frames.
Yokes
The PaddleSki features three
aluminum yokes to support
the floor. These come
preassembled from the
factory, and there is normally
no need to disassemble them
in normal use.
The yokes are bolted from
below and fastened with a
knurled nut as shown above.
They need not be extremely
tight, but should not be
allowed to loosen over time.
Valves
2
Recessed One-Way Valves on
Main Chambers
The valve cap unscrews to reveal
the valve stem.
When this stem is in the up
position as shown, the valve
retains air. The valve should be in
this position while inflating the
boat. To deflate, press the stem
down and turn it clockwise. To put
in the up, airtight position, press
it down and turn counter
clockwise.
Use the recessed valve adapter
included with your boat (located in
the orange repair kit canister) to
inflate this valve. The adapter fits
into the hose of the foot pump.
Push the adapter into the valve
and turn to the clockwise to lock
it in position.
To deflate the air chamber, you
don't need a pump. Simply push
the valve stem in with your thumb
and turn to the right to secure it
in the down position. This will let
the air out and instantly deflate
your boat.
Pipe Valve: For old Deluxe Kayak
Seats and Deluxe Fly Fishing Seats
Sea Eagle pipe valves are simple,
reliable and compact. Insert the
large cone-shaped nozzle included
with your foot pump to inflate
these seats.
