Foot Pumps
A41 Foot Pump: This pump is used
for all our products and is one of the
best on the market today. We firmly
recommend you always carry your A-
41 on board for safety.
(Not used for 8.10 YT or 10.6 SR-
RIK Floors).
A50 High Pressure Foot Pump: This
pump is included with our 8.10 YT
Yacht Tender and 10.6 SR-RIK only.
The A50 is a dual chamber pump. It is
used to inflate the bow, port &
starboard chambers of the 8.10 YT at
3.2 psi. It also inflates the high
pressure drop stich floor of the 8.10
YT & 10.6 SR-RIK at 7 psi. We firmly
recommend you always carry your
A50 on board for safety.
Attach the hose to the valve on the
right side of the A41 foot pump (upper
valve of A50 foot pump) as shown in
the pictures to inflate. Use the One
Way Valve adapter included with your
transom boat to inflate this valve.
Insert the valve adapter into the
yellow hose of the Foot Pump.
Push the adapter into the valve and
turn clockwise to lock it in position.
With the foot pump, inflate each
chamber till you cannot pump any
more air into it. At this stage the foot
pump will become extremely hard and
you will not be able to press it any
further. That means the chamber has
reached its optimum pressure.
Withdraw the adapter from the valve
and close the valve cap.
Electric Pumps
(Not used for 8.10 YT Floor)
MB-100 High Pressure Electric Pump
is specifically designed for high
pressure inflatable boats like our
transom boats. It has a set of alligator
clips to hook on to a 12 Volt car battery
just like a jump cable.
Make sure your pump is off and hook
the red positive alligator clip to the
positive terminal of your battery. Hook
the negative clip to the negative
terminal of your battery.
Adjust the pressure dial on the MB-100
pump to 220 milibar, or 3.2 PSI as
shown, and plug the hose into the
valve opening above the dial for
inflation. The other opening on the
other side of the pump is for deflation,
which is not required for our boats.
Please note, the MB-100 Pump comes with a
cluster of 8 adapters that are numbered from
1 to 8. These numbers are written on the
arms of the cluster that hold each adapter.
You have to carefully read these numbers on
the arms of the cluster.
Attach the other end of the hose to the
adapter # 7. Then detach adapter #7 from
this cluster and insert the same into threaded
side of adapter # 1. Now Push the adapter in
the Recessed One-Way Valve and switch on the pump. It will change
gears during inflation and automatically stop once the pontoon is fully
inflated to 3.2 psi air pressure.
BST Super Turbo Electric Pump
The BST features a
two stage pumping
system - a high
speed fan to
quickly inflate your
hull, and a piston
pump to achieve
the desired
pressure our
transom boats
need. Not only is
this pump
amazingly fast, but
it is portable as
well. The high
capacity battery
can inflate our larger boats twice between charges. Includes valve
adapters, high capacity battery, 110 volt household charger & 12 volt
cigarette lighter adapter for car use.
The BST Super Turbo Electric Pump also has an adjustable pressure
dial and a cluster of 8 valve adapters like our MB-100 Pump. Adjust
the dial of the BST pump to 220 milibar, or 3.2 PSI. Insert one end of
the hose to the opening on the pump that has an arrow pointing
outward (for inflation). The opening on the other side of the pump with
an arrow pointing inward is for deflation, which is not required for our
boats. Attach the other end of the hose to the adapter # 7. Then
detach adapter #7 from this cluster and insert the same into threaded
side of adapter # 1. Now Push the adapter in the Recessed One-Way
Valve and switch on the pump. The pump will go through the two
stage pumping system - a high speed fan to quickly inflate your hull,
and a piston pump to achieve the desired pressure our transom boats
need. It will automatically stop once the pontoon is fully inflated at
desired pressure of 3.2 PSI. Not for 8.10 YT and 10.6 SR-RIK drop
stitch floors.
Inflation
All our Transom Boat models have a port, bow, and starboard air
chamber in the main hull. The valves are located near the bow of the
boat. The Sport Runabouts have an inflatable keel as well. These air
chambers are totally separate and ensure buoyancy in the event of a
single chamber failure. The 8.10 YT & 10.6 SR-RIK features a
separate high pressure drop stitch floor.
1) Unfold the Hull. Clear a flat space (making sure it is clean and free
of sharp objects). Remove the hull from its box and take it out of the
boat bag. Unroll the hull so it is laid out flat.
2) Inflate all chambers slightly. See Valves and Pumps above for
more information. At this time, the air chambers should be inflated to
about 10% -20% of their capacity so that the hull material is out of the
way and the floorboards can be easily inserted.
