Noob, have I bought a SIB or a RIb ?

[Highland Haggis]

Just give plenty of warning when you plan to go out iam sure someone on here will jump in and help you out

[Pilgrim23]

I'll have a look at that once I've got everything up and sorted.
Just got home from work, so I'll post some pics tomorrow

It's free parking and launching at the Barrage, you only need a Canal and river trust day licence. There is a speed limit, but it's a nice ride to Yarm.

[Pilgrim23]

Hi Stray,
That sounds very interesting.
I've got my powerboat lv2 there on 4/5 Sept.
How do you get a day pass?
If you look on engines forum I've posted some pics

[Pilgrim23]

Morning Stray, ☕️
I'm off a few days now so I'll take a drive up to the barrage today and take a look round.
Thanks

I need to find out the correct inflatable pressures etc, and also try and find out what is a good electric pump to buy.
I'm so glad I found rib.net, my backgrounds in aviation, so I need to learn as much as possible.
I'm booked on a Powerboat level 2 course at the Tees Barrage neat Stockton 4/5 Sept, so looking forward to that.

Let me see if I can dig something up.

Thanks Giles

Here are 4 photos of the Inflaters points on the sib.
2 of keel,
2 of stbd tube.
They look different to the ones I've seen online.
On the tubes they have green star like plastic ends.
On the keel just a rubber pointer.

Sorry, this is the keel Inflaters connection, not the photo above,
That was the keel Inflaters cover above.

scroll down this page to the zodiac valves bit of info there



https://www.polymarineshop.com/valves/

[Pilgrim23]

It looks like the one near the bottom of the page.
Under Zodiac Valves, the green 6 star shape

[Fenlander]

They are the standard Zodiac valves I'd expect for that model/era.

The tube ones push/turn the green bit to deflate and the keel you just unscrew the valve assy to deflate.

[Pilgrim23]

Thanks,
Is there any special air pump connector required to inflate.
I will deflate them all to take out the flooring to investigate and clean.
But I will need to inflate back afterwards.

[Pilgrim23]

Ive just bought this, as recommended.

will this do?
Or do I need any special connectors ?

[Fenlander]

I don't know that specific pump but many come with an end that fits into the keel valve size... then an adaptor is needed to sleeve up for the tube valves.

This is the standard Zodiac item... https://shop.chastheboat.co.uk/colle...products/z6854

[Pilgrim23]

Thanks, I might just have this one.
