Keel Installation
Because of the size of this model, the keel ships separately from the hull and must be installed before first use:
- Fully inflate the boat tubes.
- Inflate and position the keel along the center of the boat bottom.
- Secure it with the Velcro straps.
- Align the keel valve with the opening in the first floor section.
- Deflate the keel.
Once installed, the keel can remain permanently inside the boat and does not need to be removed.
Saturn Inflatable Boats Specifications:
Note: Specifications and accessories are subject to change without notice. Max O/B Motor means: maximum power of outboard motor that can be safely used to run the boat loaded to the maximum capacity at normal water surface conditions. Please exercise common sense and caution when using maximum motor capacity. Do not jump from wave to wave as new 4-stroke motors are much heavier then 2-stroke and provide extra strain on the transom. Under normal circumstances, with half the maximum persons/load capacity, 50% of maximum O/B power rating may be necessary to put boat on plane.
