Fish Cat Pontoon Boat Assembly Instructions
Pontoon Inflation
Items needed:
2 - Pontoons
1 - Vinyl Tubing Adapter 1 - Summit 2 Valve Adapter 1 - Pump (not included)
Inflate the pontoons using a hand, foot or an electric pump designed for inflatable boats. If using an
electric pump for initial inflation, a hand pump must be used to top off the pontoons.
To inflate:
1. Remove the dust cap from the valve.
2. Push and turn the valve stem 1/4 turn to the left. This positions the valve stem in the up or
closed position. Having the valve stem in the closed position allows air to be pumped into
the pontoon and will prevent the air from escaping.
3. Connect the clear vinyl valve adapter to the pump hose and to the gray Summit 2 valve
adapter.
4. Insert the Summit 2 valve adapter into the valve on the boat. A 1/4 turn to the right will lock
the adapter to the valve.
5. Inflate the boat to a pressure of 2.5 psi.
6. Repeat procedure for the other pontoon.
If the pontoons start to look disfigured when inflating, stop and release the air from the pontoon.
Carefully unzip the pontoon and adjust the interior bladder so that it fills the disfigured area. Once
the adjustment is completed, carefully close the zipper, replace the split ring and re-inflate the
pontoons following the steps above.
Do not over inflate the pontoons.
Inflation Pressure: A good rule for gauging the proper pressure is to push down with your thumb at
the center of the tube. If you can deflect about a half an inch from the top plane of the tube, it will be
close to 2.5 psi.
To deflate:
1. Depress the valve stem and turn it 1/4 turn to the right (clockwise). This positions the valve
stem in the down or open position and will allow air to escape freely from the pontoons.
!CAUTION
Changes in air temperature and elevation could cause the air inside the pontoons to
expand which could cause the pontoons to burst. Always release some air when these
conditions occur.
Never leave your boat sitting in direct sunlight when it is out of the water.

Securing the Frame
Items needed:
1 - Assembled Frame 2 - Inflated Pontoons 8 - 30” Cam Straps
1. Proper positioning of the pontoons should be so that the logos on the outside of the
pontoons and to the bow or front of the boat.
2. Place the frame on top of the pontoons with the foot bars toward the front of the boat.
Center the frame between the D-rings on the side of the boat.
3. Using the (8) 30” Cam Straps (one for each D-ring) secure the frame to the D-rings. One
simple way to do this is to begin by running the strap through the frame near the D-ring
leaving the buckle near the frame. Next, run the strap through the D-ring and place the free
end of the strap into the jaws of the buckle. Repeat procedure for all D-rings.
4. Once all cam straps are in place, tighten all cam straps evenly so they are snug against the
pontoons.
