As you note there is a lot of detail in this apparent easy blow up and go boating lark!
Hopefully my attachment is on here. Don't know what the middle hole is for!

OK that's one of the older Bravo pumps. But even in the image I can see the outlet you are connected to says 0-150mbar 0-2.1PSI and the middle one says +150mbar +2.1PSI.

So your middle one is the high pressure outlet.

Strange it doesn't have a range, just +2.1. I'll give it a whirl. Hopefully boating weather returns this weekend

Generally the Bravo HP models go to 1bar in HP mode... well they do... but you may be looking for willing volunteers by that point!

Haha. I need to get to 0.8! Can I just use the HP bit from the start or do I need to swap?

Well you can but usually the HP part delivers a fraction of the volume of the LP part so we always start with LP filling the chambers until it becomes too hard to pump.
