Troubleshooting

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup begins by laying the boat flat and inflating the main chambers followed by the drop-stitch floor using the included hand pump. Always refer to the provided pressure gauge to ensure the chambers reach the recommended PSI for safety. Compatibility is straightforward with the Float Plus engine system, which mounts easily to the designated frame. For maintenance, rinse the boat with fresh water after every outing, especially if used in salt or brackish water. Ensure the material is completely dry before folding it to prevent mildew, and store it in a cool, dark environment to protect the PVC from UV degradation. If a small puncture occurs, use the included repair kit immediately to maintain the integrity of the air chambers.
