The operator, passengers and craft are governed by local, national, and when applicable, international
rules and regulations of the waterways. If you are not familiar with these rules and regulations, your local
Department of Natural Resources can assist you. Safety courses are available from national and local
organizations and are highly recommended for anyone who is not familiar with the rules and regulations
of safe operation of water vessels.
The product you have purchased comes with a limited warranty from SEAMAX CANADA. The terms and
conditions of the warranty are in the Warranty Information Section of this manual. Keep this booklet and
your sales slip together for future reference. You may be asked to provide proof of purchase for
in-warranty service. For any questions or concerns about our products, please email us and we will
respond as quickly as possible.
Seamax DO NOT recommend using a high pressure air compressor to inflate your new boat (Except 12
volt battery powered air pumps). Inflatable boats are not design to be inflated with high pressure air
compressors. This may cause the seams to rupture or the air valves to malfunction. This in turn could
create a dangerous situation and personal injury could occur if a seam was to rupture.
This type of inflation will void your warranty.
Purchase Records
Record your Hull Identification Number (HIN) and engine mode / serial number. The HIN is located on the
back of the boat on the starboard side. The engine model / serial number is located on the swivel bracket.
You will need this information to obtain parts, warranty service or provide information to your local law
enforcement agency if your boat is lost or stolen.

2. ABOUT BOATING
The operator (driver) is responsible for the correct and safe operation of the boat and safety of its occupants and
general public. It is strongly recommended that each operator (driver) read and understand this entire manual before
operating the boat. Be sure at least one additional person on board is instructed in the basics of starting and operating
the outboard and boat handling in case the driver is unable to operate the boat. Remember in Canada you must have
a boating certification license for all motorized watercraft. All local rules and regulations apply to all waterways. If you
have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact with us. Safety and operating information that is practiced,
along with using good common sense, can help prevent personal injury and product damage.
Boater’s operation license is required in Canada and USA when use the boat with an outboard engine or electric motor.
Your boat may have to be registered with Transport Canada or DMV office (Department of Motor Vehicles) before use.
Please make sure you and your boat can meet all the government requirements when you transport the boat on the
land or use the boat in the water.
LANYARD STOP SWITCH
The purpose of a lanyard stop switch is to shut down the engine in an emergency situation when the operator moves
from a safe operating distance (as in accidental ejection from the operator's position) to activate the switch. Tiller
handle outboards and some remote control units are equipped with a lanyard stop switch. A lanyard stop switch can
be installed as an accessory, generally on the dashboard or side adjacent to the operator's position. Should the
operator fall out of the boat, the possibility of serious injury or death from being run over by the boat can be greatly
reduced by stopping the engine immediately. Always properly connect both ends of the stop switch lanyard to the stop
switch and the operator.
The lanyard is coiled to make its at-rest condition as short as possible to minimize the likelihood of lanyard
entanglement with nearby objects. Its stretched-out length is made to minimize the likelihood of accidental activation
should the operator choose to move around in an area close to the normal operator's position.

PROTECTING PEOPLE WHILE CRUISING
It is very difficult for a person standing or floating in the water to take quick action to avoid a boat heading in his or her
direction, even at slow speed. Always slow down and exercise extreme caution any time you are boating in an area
where there might be people in the water. Whenever a boat is moving (coasting) and the outboard gear shift is in the
neutral position, there is sufficient force by the water on the propeller to cause the propeller to rotate. This neutral
propeller rotation can cause serious injury. Shift outboard into neutral and shut off the engine before allowing people to
swim or be in the water near your boat.
WAVE AND WAKE JUMPING
Operating recreational boats over waves and wakes is a
natural part of boating. However, when this activity is
done with sufficient speed to force the boat hull partially
or completely out of the water, certain hazards arise,
particularly when the boat re-enters the water.
The primary concern is the boat changing direction while in the midst of the jump. In such a case the landing may
cause the boat to veer violently in a new direction. A sharp change in direction can cause occupants to be thrown out
of their seats or out of the boat. Use extreme caution when near other boats. There is another hazard from allowing
your boat to launch off a wave or wake. If the bow of your boat pitches down far enough while airborne, upon water
contact it may penetrate under the water surface and submarine for an instant. This will bring the boat to an instant
stop and can send the occupants flying forward. The boat may also steer sharply to one side on impact with the water.
Please be aware of these wave and wake hazards and use extreme caution.

Seamax Inflatable Boat – English User Manual
- 6 -
IMPACT WITH UNDERWATER HAZARDS
Reduce speed and proceed with caution whenever you drive a boat in shallow water areas, or in areas where you
suspect underwater obstacles may exist. These obstacles could be struck by the bottom leg of the outboard or the
boat bottom and cause severe damage to the boat and or motor. Travel these areas with extreme caution, to reduce
injury or impact damage from striking a floating or submerged object reduce your boat speed.
BOATING SAFETY
Boat operators should complete a boating safety course. And the boat operator may need to pass a Pleasure Craft
License to operate any motorized craft on the water (mandatory in Canada). In order to safely enjoy the waterways,
familiarize yourself with local and other governmental boating regulations and restrictions, and consider the following
suggestions:
1) On hand have enough life-Jackets (or personal floatation devices) with you for all your Passengers.
2) Check the pressure and the condition of the boat before you start sailing.
3) Pay close attention to the weather conditions for your safety.
4) Do not forget important papers (Eg. maps and boating license), oars, and flash light.
5) Make sure you take repair kits, first aid kit and a MANUAL air pump with your boat.
6) Make sure you do not exceed the maximum recommended number of persons on the capacity plate.
7) Do not exceed the recommended maximum horsepower rating.
NOTE: Use of alcohol or drugs is prohibited while operating a water craft. Alcohol or drug use impairs your
judgment and greatly reduces your ability to react quickly. This carries the same penalty as driving a car if
convicted.

Seamax Inflatable Boat – English User Manual
- 7 -
Have an approved personal flotation device of suitable size for each person aboard the vessel (it is the law) and have
it readily accessible. Do not overload your boat. Most boats are rated and certified for maximum load (weight)
capacities (refer to your boat capacity plate). Perform safety checks and required maintenance. Follow a regular
schedule and ensure that all repairs are properly made. Know and obey all nautical rules and laws of the waterways.
Prepare other boat operators. Instruct at least one other person on board in the basics of starting and operating the
outboard, and boat handling, in case the driver becomes disabled or falls overboard. Stop the engine whenever
passengers are boarding, unloading, or are near the back (stern) of the boat. Just shifting the outboard into neutral is
not sufficient. The operator of the boat is responsible by law to maintain a proper lookout by sight and sound. The
operator must have an unobstructed view particularly to the front. Never operate your boat directly behind a water
skier in case the skier loses control and hits the water. Use extreme caution around any swimmer, diver or persons in
the water.
BOAT CAPACITY PLATE
Seamax inflatable boats are registered with Transport Canada and carry our own manufacture's identification code.
Each Seamax boat carries a capacity plate along required by Transport Canada .This certification along with the CE
certification allows Seamax Boats to be sold world wide.
This table shows that boat is designed and constructed for:
CATEGORIES NAVIGATION WAVE IND FORCE AND WHEIGHT

3. Seamax design
Seamax is a registered inflatable boat manufacturer with Transport Canada and is treated as a registered boat builder
for US Coast Guard. Inflatable boats are probably the most stable boats on the water. They are used for offshore
rescue, whitewater rafting and are the boat of choice for most military agencies. Seamax Inflatable boats come in
several different sizes and floor combinations. Seamax Marine is the developer and distributor of Seamax inflatable
boats and accessories.
TECHNOLOGY OF INFLATABLE BOAT
The Seamax new features listed below are based on commercial inflatable standards, upgraded from commercial
standards, and Seamax self-developed. All these features make our boats more rigid, more durable comparing with
many other boats. And we can guarantee the Seamax boats have the longest life time. Thank you again for choosing
Seamax.
1. Four Layers Overlapped Seam (FOS)
Description – FOS
4-layer overlap seam finishing is the strongest seam construction standard in the inflatable boat industry. The 2 main
chamber fabrics are bonded together with ½” overlapped. And there are 2 extra 1” pieces of seam tape on both sides
to reinforce the main seam. Total thickness of FOS seam is about 4-5mm thick and 2.5” wide. FOS has been applied
to all Hypalon boats since 2013 and all PVC boats since 2015.
Seamax boats with FOS standard
have a strong pontoon chamber which
is air tight and will have a longer life
expectancy. FOS Seamax chamber
seams are better at resisting sun and
heat damage over the long
term. Demo photos show the FOS
seam applied on Hypalon material.
Now the FOS standard is applied to all
our new PVC and Hypalon inflatable
boats.
Double Hot Welded Standard - Seamax offers double hot
welded seam as the highest industry standard. After the main
chamber fabric welded together, we add one sky-blue seam
tape welded from chamber inside to reinforce and double the
strength. Another body color seam tape is added from
outside for the best looking and extra reinforcement.

2. Inner Bottom Reinforcement (IBR)
Description – IBR
The Inner Bottom Reinforcement Layer is located on the boat bottom central keel area (inside). It is a simple idea but
gives a lot of extra protection for your boat bottom. The IBR coverage is about 3' x 1' for small boats and up to 5' x 2'
on larger boats. Seamax has been using the IBR standard to build heavy duty boats since 2010. The IBR system is
not visible from the outside of the boat and causes no extra water resistance when out on the water. IBR standard has
been applied to selected Seamax models since 2011.
Benefit – IBR
The IBR system makes the hull more rigid. It is a great feature to have on your boat as it protects your boat when you
are launching the boat from beach or a trailer. IBR also increases hull thickness in case the boat hits something
submerged in the water. Seamax has no hull bottom damage claim since the IBR standard is in effect.
3. Transom Stabilizer Reinforcement (TSR)
Description - TSR
Boat transom is glued with pontoon and bottom all together. Sun light, water and temperature can severely damage
the transom structure on roll up inflatable boats. Adding extra stability and protection to the transom is very important
to build our Seamax boats. Besides using marine grade solid birch plywood to increase the quality, we have
developed new manufacturer standards that focus every points of making. We call our standard Transom Stabilizer
Reinforcement (TSR). The TSR feature has been used on most of our Seamax PVC boats since 2015.
Benefit - TSR
TSR makes the boat and transom much stronger. The
transom adaptors are fully reinforced with 2 additional
layers from top and bottom. The fabric coverage of
transom is increased and double layered. TSR will
help the pontoons disperse the outboard motor
vibration and weight. The reinforcement technology
will dramatically extend the overall life time of our
Seamax inflatable boats.

4. Hull Stabilizer Bar (HSB)
Description - HSB
The Hull Stabilizer Bar (HSB) was designed by Lawrence (Owner of Seamax) and first applied on our government
project. Now Seamax HSB (2nd version) is available on every Seamax Ocean T model boat and all Seamax boats
over 14ft. (Photo of HSB is not showing on our website). The HSB feature has been used on the Seamax Ocean T
series and all Seamax roll up models over 14' since 2015.
Benefit – HSB
Located near the front deep V-Hull, the specially
made HSB greatly helps stabilize the boat
structure. The tension along the HSB creates an
invisible force triangle to stabilize the front Hull
and keep the floor in place. Such a triangle inner
support for the hull is a great boat feature that
nobody has. Also, a boat with the HSB feature will
have better high speed boating performance. The
reinforced hull structure allows the boat to be
driven safely when chambers in low pressure.
5. Accurate Hull Quality Control (AHQC)
Description - AHQC
Seamax creates the Accurate Hull Quality Control (AHQC) as part of our manufacturing standard. This AHQC is part
of our new standard boat design which includes a new cutting pattern for both pontoon and boat bottom, a new
floorboard standard, new equipment and properly trained staff. Because of all these changes and updates, our
inflatable boats can offer a tighter and superior finished bottom as compared to other manufacturers.
Benefit - AHQC
The AHQC standard may help increase max boat speed up to 15% and reduce possibility of damage in use.
The rollup inflatable boat bottom is very hard to build tight and smooth. Seamax knows how to properly design a rollup
inflatable boat that does NOT have this problem. It costs more time, technique, and money to make perfect boats, and
that could be why many manufacturers have problems with their boat hulls.
* Reflective Tape for Navigation at Night
US Coast Guard Approved 3M Reflective Sheeting. Color
Code: White USCGFP30 (Sliver). Commercial Grade
Reflective Tape Dimensions: 3”x10”, 3”x8”. Applied quantity
is based on boat length.

5. BOAT Assemble
UNPACKING
To protect the boat and its accessories - Never use a sharp knife to open the boxes.
Work with a helper to move the boat from the boxes. Don’t drag the packages on the
ground.
Remove all components from the boxes. Before you unfold the boat, take a good look at how the boat is folded
together. Unfold the boat on a flat surface. Take the floor boards out along with the side joiners. Inspect and check if all
the components are in new condition and not damaged in anyway such as: valves, plywood seat, foot pump, oars,
aluminum side joiners, floor boards, repair kit and carrying-bag. Inspect and familiarize yourself with all the
components and the safety features of your new inflatable boat. Knowing the functions of all the components of your
boat is very important. Not only for safety reasons but to assist in any questions or concerns you may have.
AIR VALVES
All air valves are preassembled and tested for leaks. To fill, remove the front cap and insert pump-hose twist to lock.
Ensure that the air valve is in the inflate position. You will notice that there is a 2-position valve stem. Push or Push
and twist for the inflate position. Repeat the opposite direction for the deflate position. Each SEAMAX inflatable boat
comes with a spare valve and valve wrench.
When the boat is new from the box, all the air valves are at OPEN position. Close the valve before you connect it to
the air pump. So the chamber can hold the air after the pump hose disconnected. If you forgot to turn the valve to
CLOSED position, then it may waste your time to inflate the boat again. When you inflate the boat after it assembled,
you should start with the rear pontoon chamber on each side, then the 2 middle chambers (if available), and front (bow)
chamber. Keel chamber is the latest. (Pontoon & Keel chambers between 2-3 PSI is the normal working pressure for

an inflatable boat. Max to give 3.6 PSI)
Double check all valves and make sure they are all in good condition. You can also use the included valve wrench to
ensure all the valves are seated tightly against the floor material. To ensure that the valves are in the correct position,
push in and twist the valve stem to the up position. To confirm it, use the foot pump to pump some air in the floor and
then remove hose. If the valve stem is in the correct position the air will not escape. If it does, push down valve stem
and twist until valve stem pops up.
Locate the foot pump and familiarize yourself with the operation and installation of the air hose into the side chamber
air valves. Inflate the side chambers to about 20% of capacity. This is done to pull the floor fabric away from the side
chambers and makes the floor installation much easier.
BOAT ASSEMBLE - AIRMAT FLOOR MODEL
The air floor is designed to be light weight and easy installation. Its design allows the floor to remain in the boat and be
deflated and folded up with the rest of the boat. Seamax air mat floors are specially designed using two layers of fabric
held together by thousands of polyester cross threads. Inflating this type of fabric with high pressure air provides a
very rigid yet light weight floor. This provides the versatility of a tradition hard floor with the ease of installation. We
suggest the Seamax 12V electric air pump to work with the boat (80D or 80DB Blue Version).
AIRMAT FLOOR WITH GAS TANK PAD PLYWOOD SUPPORT AT THE BACK
Unfold the floor on a clean flat surface free of any sharp objects that could damage the air mat. Check over to make
sure there is no defect. Lay the floor flat and ensure that all valves are snug, and the air valve is in the closed position.
Install plywood slat in holder (under the 2 strap). This is to provide the support to push the inflatable keel down and
form a deep V-shape keel under the boat.
