I inflated the avon tonight. Now waiting to see how long it maintains pressure. I know that it's going to lose some air over time and that this would be normal. However, is there a set amount of days...

Thanks Finlander. I'm going to have to pick one of these up!

So the pressure gauge connects to the end of the yellow tube and then the white adaptor connects between the pressure gauge and the...

Stupid Noobie Question But Have to Ask

My BRAVO 2 pump arrived today with the attachments and no instructions. I was able to pump up my Avon Rover but I only inserted the yellow tube directly into the valves and did not use any of the...

Fenlander, do you recall how much psi one should inflate in this model dinghy? I ordered the BRAVO 2 foot pump so hopefully, this will do the trick. I'm guessing I'll have to buy a gauge as well.

You mention keeping it dry. If I want to keep it semi inflated when not in use, will I still have to remove the flooring every time I use it to ensure the fabric underneath is dry? I know it has a...

I keep hearing about mice. Where we live there are tons of them. I'd lock my cats in the shed but they'd probably put claws through the raft.

Thanks for the info! I'm going to see if I can locate a pair of used oars on ebay or craigslist. I may just dissemble the dinghy for now. Is there any harm in keeping it semi inflated and upright on...

That's a relief. I started getting worried that the seller sold me the wrong size engine. Not sure why Tohatsu decided to make a 17'' shaft rather than the standard 15'' version. Wish their website...

Yeah, I was looking at those pics but couldn't tell the type of wood from them. I thought maybe teak at first. Regardless, shame they painted over them.

Do you know what kind of wood was used on the transom and flooring? Shame the previous owner painted mine.

Thanks for all the replies (except the "are you for real one") I'm planning on taking it out when we get a decent day here and that's why I didn't want to fully deflate it. It's also a 1990 model so...

I purchased a used Avon Rover SIB this evening and temporarily only have enough room in my sunporch to store it upright on one of it's sides. It's about 75% inflated. Does this sound like an issue or...

I remeasured the shaft again and got 17''. So it's not a 20'' long but it's not a 15'' short. I don't get it. Did Tohatsu make irregular shafts? I guess the bigger question is this: will a 17'' shaft...

I took a look at the motor this evening but now I'm not sure if it's a standard shaft or a long shaft. The model number has not helped me out either. Is there a way I can tell? The model # is MFS6BS...

Assuming everything checks out, do you think $1300 is realistic for both the 6 HP four stroke motor and the dinghy? The seller said he's only used the motor about four times so it's basically new.

I just asked the seller about the valve covers. Hopefully he has them. Are there any other issues I should be concerned with? Do you think the 6HP Tohatsu is appropriate for this 10' SIB?

I love those wheels. The owner said he'd throw in a 6 hp Tohatsu with only 4 hrs on it for $1300 total, RIB included. Wish it were an 8 HP but then price jumps too. Yours looks really nice. Glad to...
