When deflating:
Check that the valves and gaskets are clean and not damaged (sealing compound, sand, etc.). .
Check the self bailer is not clogged.
1.2 Check airtightness of your boat:
Note:
1.3 For rigid inflatable boats: cleaning of the hull.
Remove buoyancy tube (for boats with removable buoyancy tubes).
Wash the deck and hull with soapy soap, rinse with fresh water and dry thoroughly.
Check the self bailer is not clogged.
Open the drainage holes caps to evacuate water.
Reassemble the tube to the hull if necessary and inflate.

Using the pressure indicator (supplied with some models or available
from your dealer), measure the pressure loss after 24 hours.
LOSS OF PRESSURE
Loss of pressure (20%) over 24 hours is not unusual.
(ISO 6185 standard permits a certain amount of pressure loss). If loss of pressure
exceeds:
0.145 PSI (0.010 Bar) / 5 hours for buoyancy tube
0.5 PSI (0.035 Bar) / 5 hours for high-pressure air-floor
Check airtightness of your boat.
Temperature has a great influence on air pressure. A variation of 1°C results in a
variation in the same way of about +/- 4 mb (0.06 PSI).
If you have a problem with an air leakage: first, check all valves are intact and in
closed position (nothing clogging valve). Do not hesitate to contact your Dealer.
