TRANSPORTING 24 Trailering Boat Use a trailer that will properly support the boat hull. Position the boat on the trailer so it will rest in a stable position on the trailer supports. The boat must be properly secured to the trailer. Secure the boat to the trailer using tie‑down straps.
OPERATION 25 Inflation ! CAUTION Do not use a compressed air source to fill air chambers. Over inflation may result in damaged seams and or bulkheads. Seams and or bulkheads ruptured from over inflation, are not covered under the warranty. IMPORTANT: Do not inflate or deflate one air chamber at a time.
OPERATION 26 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.
OPERATION 27 Empty the boat of all equipment. Make sure nobody is on‑board during lifting. 14774 Outboard Power Choose an outboard for the boat that is in accordance with the horsepower range and maximum weight limit.
OPERATION 28 • Check the outboard for tightness on the transom. • Know the fuel capacity and cruising range. • Check that the lanyard stop switch for the outboard works correctly. • Be sure the boat is not overloaded. Do not exceed the maximum number of passengers or load capacity.
OPERATION 29 Drain Valve Operation When underway, remove the drain plug from the drain and the water will automatically run out. The inner diaphragm will prevent water from returning.
OPERATION 30 Towing If the inflatable boat is to be towed by another boat, the inflatable boat must be empty. Remove outboard, fuel tank and equipment. Attach a single towing line to the mooring ring on front of the hull and tow the boat at slow speed.
MAINTENANCE 31 Cleaning Procedure FABRIC SURFACES Inflate the air chambers. Clean the fabric with a mild soap and fresh water solution. Rinse with fresh water and dry thoroughly. IMPORTANT: Do not use a vinyl preservative on the air chamber fabric. Chemicals in the preservatives may dry out the fabric.
MAINTENANCE 32 The repair kit which comes with the boat is a one part glue operation and should be used for emergency minor repair. For a permanent repair, a two part Hypalon glue should be used. This two part Hypalon glue and patching materials are available from Mercury Marine.
MAINTENANCE 33 Apply two thin layers of adhesive using a short bristle brush, in a circular pattern on both the backside of the patch and the patch area on the boat. Allow the first layer to dry completely (approximately 15 minutes) before applying the second layer.
MAINTENANCE 34 For the best results when gluing, the relative humidity should be less than 60%, ambient air temperature should be between 18 °C to 25 °C (65 °F to 77 °F) and not in direct sunlight. Cut out a patch large enough to overlap the damaged area by 38 mm (1.
STORAGE 35 Storage Preparation NOTE: The boat should be cleaned and rinsed with fresh water before being placed in long term storage. Refer to cleaning procedure.
