[Rhodes22-list] Inflatable Dingy and Arnold

[Wally Buck]

Ed - Many inflatables will not work with a 12 volt pump. Some require 
special fittings that will not plug into an electric pump. My kayak is fully 
inflated at 3 PSI with a max of 7 PSI. Manual actually advises against using 
electric pump to avoid over inflating.

I purchased on ebay used a couple of years ago. It is great for flat water 
as well as white water. I have used in up to 3.5 white water without any 
problem. I have also used in the surf at Hattaras. I have paddled 9 miles in 
calm water in under 4 hours according to my GPS.
