F- Rib Inflation problem

[PaulR]

Now I am sure this is a simple fix and that it is me that is at fault but I am having an issue adding a bit of air to the F-Rib. I am using a hand pump and just wanted to top it up a bit but everytime I tried to connect the bayonet adaptor air was released and I could not get the adaptor to stay in the female connector.
I was turning the adaptor to the right (clockwise) to try and lock it in. Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks

Hi Paul, I had a similar problem with my electric pump so I swapped the connector end from the F-Rib foot pump onto the electric pump hose and that fixed it. I was later able to buy a couple of the right connectors so that I have a hand pump, foot pump and electric pump that all now fit.

Have fun, Douglas

Thanks Douglas
Your comments have helped to solve the problem, you actually reminded Paul of something with your comments that made him realise he may have forgotten something, I will let Paul explain
Thanks again

Thanks for the reply Douglas as your description got me thinking

I swapped the connector end from the F-Rib foot pump

SOooo I have a confession to make

As you all know I sold PaulR my FRIB but I've never used the pump supplied with the boat, being a lazy git I'd always used my Bravo electric pump
When putting all the 'kit' together I accidentally packed my caravan air awning stirrup pump with the boats kit
Douglas's comment made me realise that I've an unused foot pump and didn't know what it's for so dug it out and bingo it's got the bayonet fitting

My apologies PaulR and it'll be in the post first thing

I'll go sit on the naughty chair in the meantime
