430 on order!

Excellent! Thank you for the clarification on the adapters. The boat came with a Leafield screw in adapter without the internal screw. Leafield claims that the screw holds the valve open which helps increase the airflow with electric pumps, nice but not necessary.

As a side note, the Bravo brand foot pump that came with the boat is a solid piece of kit. Not cheap at all and does an excellent job even though I’m lazy and use a battery powered DeWalt vacuum to do most of the filling. A Bravo BTP12 is in my near future!

Hiya Fly,
My apologies.. I did reply to your post regarding the valves, though it appears I may have forgotten to press submit

Harrison has again hit the nail on the head regarding the fitment of the prv’s on the rear only.
The inflation process (rear/sides first) blows the baffle forward, thus when the prv’s open the baffle will sink back and the pressure in the front sections will lower.
I had heard there were new valves coming to the Frib line up last year, it looks like they must be working there way through production now.
That’s great news

As said, everyday is a school day as we all learn something new.
