OPERATION

NOTE: Always be aware of the air pressure in the air chambers. The air volume inside the air chambers will expand as the internal air temperature rises, this will cause the air pressure to fluctuate depending on water temperature and weather conditions. A boat that is correctly inflated, may experience a drop in air pressure and require additional air when temperatures get cooler or it may become over inflated when in direct sun light or as the temperatures get hotter. This will require the air to be deflated until the recommended air pressure is reached.

Lifting the Boat

When using a hoist to lift the boat, attach the hoist to the three lifting rings attached to the hull.

Empty the boat of all equipment. Make sure nobody is on‑board during lifting.

Outboard Power

Choose an outboard for the boat that is in accordance with the horsepower range and maximum weight limit. Refer to the Specification table in this manual or the manufacturer's plate on the boat for the maximum outboard horsepower and outboard weight.

Install the outboard along the centerline of the boat transom. Fasten the outboard to the transom following the recommended installation instructions provided with the outboard or from the outboard manufacturer.

Check outboard for tightness on transom before each use.
