Air Chamber Deflates Accidently

If one of the air chambers should accidently deflate while you are operating the boat, shift the weight to the opposite side of the deflated air chamber and slowly head for shore.

Beaching

It is recommended that the boat not be powered onto the beach, dragged across rocks, sand, gravel or pavement as damage to the fabric and/or hull may result.
