EXAMPLE PICTURE: MODEL M-CBX9.6

All Coastal Inflatable Boats carry the highly recognized CE

certification issued by Lloyds of London. CE Certification

ensures that products are of the highest quality and

reinforces our guarantee of quality and integrity, giving you

peace of mind in terms of safety, durability, build-quality

and insurability.

Manufactures Identification Code (MIC)

Coastal Inflatable Boats confirm with the Federal requirement that every

boat must have its own unique Hull Identification Number (HIN) which the

first 3 characters must contain the company's Manufactures Identification

Code (MIC). Coastal Inflatables, LLC is registered with the Coast Guard

and our MIC is CIB. The HIN is a Federal requirement. The Coast Guard

maintains a searchable database of MICs. You can search the database to

check any inflatable boat/importer to insure they are registered with the

USSG. Check our MIC (CIB) at:

HOW TO PROPERLY OPERATE AIR VALVE

ATTENTION: Do not use a compressed air source (i.e.

automotive tire air compressor) to inflate boat. Over

inflation through the use of compressed air may result

in ruptured seams and will void the warranty.

The valve has a special pushpin inside. Do not use any

type of tool to adjust the position. Use your fingers! This

pushpin has two positions, up and down. When it is

pressed in the down position, air will escape. If you turn

the pushpin in any direction it will pop up. This will lock

air inside and prevent it from escaping through the valve.

Before inserting the air pump tube into the valve, please

make sure that the pushpin is in the upper, popped up

position. Once the pin is in the "popped up" position,

insert the air pump adapter into the valve and inflate.

Once you remove the air pump, pressure will seal the

valve and air will not escape. If you would like to deflate the boat, press down on

the pushpin and turn it in any direction until it stays in the pressed down position.

Air will immediately escape from the tubes thru the valve.

INFLATION

Inflate the boat with the pump supplied. NOTE: When using a hand pump, the

boat cannot be over-inflated. If using an electric inflator inflate the boat to about

80% and then finish the inflation procedure with the pump supplied. When

inflating the boat with the hand pump, it is normal for the hand pump to

leak some air where the adapter connects to the valve. Continue to pump

until the tubes become hard. Never drag boat on pavement or

concrete!

Depending on climate and operating conditions, the pressure may

require monitoring during boat use to maintain a correct inflation

level. What is 100% full & don't have a gauge? Inflate the tubes & floor

until the hand pump becomes somewhat difficult to push down.

Due to the boat having a safe valve to prevent over-pressure installed,

a boat inflated for 4 to 5 days may lose pressure and require re-

inflation to correct operating pressure, this is normal. It doesn't mean

that your boat has a leak; it means the safety over-pressure valve is

protecting your boat!

WARNING: DO NOT using a compressed air

source (i.e. compressor) to inflate the boat. Over-

inflation with a compressor may result in ruptured

seams and/or bulkheads.

When inflating, maintain a balance of air between air chambers to

prevent damage to air chamber bulkheads.

ASSEMBLY FOR BOATS WITH INFLATABLE DECK

Find flat surface where boat will be assembled.

Remove any sharp objects from the area where boat will be

assembled and inflated.

Unfold and spread boat out flat. Never drag boat on

pavement or concrete!

Connect the pump to the valve by inserting the adapter attached

to the pump hose into the valve, turning it until it tightens. Do

not force it; simply turn it until it locks into place. When

inflating the boat with the hand pump, it is normal for the hand

pump to leak some air where the adapter connects to the valve.

Continue to pump until the tubes become hard.

Inflate the three tubes (Bow, Starboard & Port) to about 50%. If

the air rushes out when you detach the adapter from the valve,

you need to turn the pushpin in the center of the valve (see

above).

Unfold and stretch out the inflatable deck, edging it under the

half-inflated tubes and against the transom making sure the

deck is under the tubes as well as the boards attached to the

bottom of the transom.

If the keel valve does not line up with the opening located near

the bow, remove the floor, and inflate the keel to get any folds

that may have formed during shipping. Deflate the keel; it

should regain its proper shape. Re-inflate the three tubes to

about 50% making sure the keel valve now aligns with open in

the deck.

Inflate the air deck to about 70%

Install the aluminum seats into the seat straps.

Inflate the three tubes to 100%.

Inflate the air deck to 100%.

Inflate the keel to 100%.

Install the oars.

GO BOATING!!!

What is 100% full? Inflate the tubes & floor until the hand pump

becomes somewhat difficult to push down.

ASSEMBLY FOR RIGID INFLATABLE BOATS (RIB)

Find flat surface where boat will be assembled.

Never drag boat on pavement or concrete!

Remove any sharp objects from the area where boat will be

assembled and inflated.

Connect the pump to the valve by inserting the adapter attached to

the pump hose into the valve, turning it until it tightens. Do not

force it; simply turn it until it locks into place.

Inflate the three tubes (Bow, Starboard & Port) to about 50%. If the

air rushes out when you detach the adapter from the valve, you need

to turn the pushpin in the center of the valve (see above).

Install the aluminum seats into the seat straps.

Inflate the three tubes to 100%. It is normal to hear escaping from

the valve adapter when filling the boat. Continue to pump air into

the tubes until the tubes are hard.

Install the oars.

Install the plug.

GO BOATING!!!

What is 100% full & don't have a gauge? Inflate the tubes & floor until the

hand pump becomes somewhat difficult to push down.

ASSEMBLY FOR BOATS WITH ALUMINUM DECK

Assemble the deck floor outside the boat first to get the concept of

how the floor is assembled. Different size boats will have a different

number of aluminum panels. The #1 panel is made of wood, the

other panels are aluminum. Never drag boat on pavement

or concrete!

Check the inflatable Keel. If it looks out of shape or won't lie

straight, it is because it has been pressed under the weight from

being in the box during shipping. Inflate the keel. It will regain its

shape when inflated. Then deflated it and it should look straight and

should line up with the floor much better!

Inflate the boat to about 50% or until it is extremely "baggy" and

only barely has its shape.

It WILL help if you put something under

the transom to lift the rear of the boat off

the ground by a few inches. The idea is to

get the floor off the hard surface the boat is

on in order to give the bottom of the boat

some "give" which will help to snap the

stringers in place. You can use the oars as

shown in the photo. Anything will work in order to get the bottom of

the boat off the hard floor.

Install wood piece number "1" into

the nose of the boat first (numbers

up on all sections).

Install rear aluminum panel, make

sure it fits under the height board

located on the transom

You also need to make sure the edges of the aluminum panels are

all lined up. This is necessary to make the installation of the

stringers much easier.

Install the

stringers onto

each side of the

floor. Each side

should have a

long stringer

(unless you are

assembling a

larger boat).

They need to be

installed so that

they overlap the

joints of the

aluminum floor

pieces. The only purpose of the stringers is to cover the joints

of the aluminum panels. This is what will provide stability of

the floor. This is tricky because it is a tight fit. It may help to

have another person pulling up on the tubes using the straps

that hold the seat.

Install the aluminum seats into the seat straps.

Inflate the three tubes to 100%. It is normal to hear escaping

from the valve adapter when filling the boat. Continue to

pump air into the tubes until the tubes are hard.

Inflate the keel to 100%

Install the oars.

GO BOATING!!!

What is 100% full & don't have a gauge? Inflate the tubes until the hand

pump becomes somewhat difficult to push down.

DISASSEMBLE AND DEFLATE BOAT

1. Remove the oars from both sides of the boat.

2. Deflate tubes about 50%.

3. Remove aluminum or air deck, reverse of install process. Deflate Keel.

4. Re-inflate tubes to 100% for cleaning. Clean inside and out.

5. Deflate bow tube first. The valves should be in their "open" position for

disassembly. They are open when they are in the down position. As the

bow tube is deflating, pull up on the bow ropes. This will make it easier to

fold later.

6. Deflate the main tubes. As they are deflating pull up on the side ropes so

that the boat will fold in properly

7. Fold both end tubes over transom. You want the tubes to fold in so the

entire package is not wider than the transom

8. Begin rolling up the boat from the transom.

9. Lay folded inflatable onto the storage bag and tighten the straps around

the boat being careful to make sure the storage bag covers the entire boat.

CLEANING/MAINTENANCE/STORAGE

Proper care and maintenance greatly extends the life of your valuable boat.

During the season: Check the bottom regularly to make sure there is no

excessive build up of marine life. The surface of the boat should be cleaned with a

solution of mild soap and fresh water after each use when possible. To avoid

abrasion and wear, be sure that all the sand, small rocks, oil and dirt have been

flushed away from the boat surfaces, particularly the inside deck next to the tubes.

UV Radiation: The Number One Enemy of PVC Inflatable Boats. With this in

mind, we recommend that you cover your boat when it will not be in use for

extended periods of time. While we realize that it is not practical to cover your boat

every time you get out of it, if the boat is not going to be used for several days it is

advisable to cover it. Aurora Poly Guard, a UV Protectant should also be used to

help protect your boat from the sun. It helps to keep the boat looking like new.

Apply Poly Guard every 4 weeks to extend the life of your boat. Fuel Spills and

Engine Exhaust will damage the fabric of your Inflatable Boat.

IMPORTANT: Products never to use for cleaning your inflatable are: solvents,

MEK, toluene, acetone, bleach, ammonia, highly alkaline cleaners (anything with a

pH greater than11.5), abrasive scrub pads, steel wool. They will weaken damage

and discolor the fabric and attack the adhesives. Never use "Armor All®" on

your boat!

End of Season: It pays to remove dirt and other environmental contaminants

before storing it. Allow your boat to dry thoroughly in the shade before storing it.

Store in a dry place. Use care when storing as some rodents love to

burrow into a stored inflatable.Store your craft rodent-safe. It is not

necessary to store the boat deflated. If space is not an issue it is perfectly fine to

leave your boat inflated during off season. Your boat should be clean and dry. It is

not necessary to store your boat in a heated area. Make sure that your boat is not

stored "wet", especially if it will be subjected to freezing conditions during storage.

Freezing and thawing water can damage the seams of the boat.

REPAIR PROCEDURES

If you are losing air pressure check the boat over for air leaks. There will be

normal air loss due to either the safe valve installed on the boat or due to

change in the temperature. The best way to find air leaks is dish detergent

mixed with water in a spray bottle. Start by checking the valves first. Spray

around the valve on a suspected air chamber. If you see bubbles forming,

check your valve fitting and base and be sure the valve insert is screwed on

tight and pushpin is in correct position. If the leak is not in the valve, then

spray the rest of the boat to find the leak. Spray the boat in small areas at a

time until the entire boat is covered. Once the leak is found, cut out a patch

large enough to overlap the damaged area by 1/2 inch on all sides. Center

the patch over the damaged area, and with a pencil trace the outline of the

patch. Apply masking tape around the perimeter of the outlined patch area

to ensure a tight and clean glue line. Clean the patch area on the boat as

well as the backside of the patch.

Apply three thin layers of adhesive with a short bristle brush, in a

circular pattern on the patch area on the boat. Allow each layer to

dry for 5 minutes before applying the next layer.

After applying the third layer on the boat, apply a layer of adhesive

to the patch and then put the patch to the prepared area and press

down firmly. Using a smooth object (a back of a tablespoon works

well), working from the center of the patch to the outside, force out

any air bubbles that may have been trapped under the patch.

After the patching is complete remove the masking tape and allow

24 hours drying time before pressurizing the repaired air chamber.

Important: It is recommended to do repairs in dry weather. Humidity

will decrease glue bond. Do not glue in cold temperatures.
