HOW TO INFLATE YOUR QUICKSILVER BOAT
1. Start filling the bow and side chambers (see below for correct sequence).
2. Put in enough pressure to allow the boat to spread out, but do not fully
inflate the tube.
3. Repeat procedure, pump the remaining chambers to right pressure.
If inflation is done in the right order then the boat has the correct pressure and
there is no distortion of fabric near the bulkheads.
IMPORTANT: We highly recommend using a mamometer in order to bring the
boat to optimal pressure. Manometer is not included with the Quicksilver
inflatable boats.
IMPORTANT: Never exceed these values.
• Inflate the boat to 0.25 bar = 3.6 psi
• Inflate the keel to 0.4 bar
• Inflate the high‑pressure bottom to 0.8 bar
NOTICE
Avoid structural damage due to overinflation. Never leave an inflatable boat
in direct sunlight, unless the boat is in the water. The heat from direct sunlight
can cause the air in the chambers to expand, resulting in damage to the boat.
NOTICE
Overinflation may result in damaged seams or bulkheads. Do not use a
compressed air source to fill the air chambers.
ORDER OF TUBE INFLATION
Inflate the boat in the following order:
1. Front chamber (bow chamber)
2. Side chambers
3. Floor chamber (if applicable)
4. Keel chamber (if applicable)
Always Inflate the keel chamber last.
Floorboard
Quicksilver boats that are equipped with an inflatable or a non‑inflatable
floorboard must be operated with these floorboards properly installed before
use. Using the boat without provided floorboard is unsafe, uncomfortable and it
might result in damage to the boat.
