Please view the above video and follow the steps below to aid in the assembly and installation of the aluminum-framed wooden floor boards. This part of the process will take about 5 minutes.STEP A: Properly place Newport inflatable boat floor boards inside the boat in the correct order and attach the inflatable boat floor boards at the joint locations. Watch the video above for proper technique &amp; floorboard alignment instructions.STEP B: Conjoin each floor together by inserting each floor boat (in the correct order) into the appropriate bracket. Once again, watch the above video for proper technique &amp; inflatable boat floorboard alignment instructions.STEP C: Now that the inflatable boat floorboard panels are properly and even placed within the boat (and the joints are properly connected) grab all the stringers and prepare for the aluminum stringer insertion. The longer side of the stinger is to be placed against the floor of the inflatable boat (leaving the more narrow/thin portion of the stringer facing upward. The motion to set the stingers in place is a rolling motion (not a sliding motion). The stingers are designed to roll into place and to secure snugly and not move. Watch the video above for proper Newport inflatable boat stringer installation. STEP D: Repeat the above steps for each aluminum stringer so that each joint of the wood panel floors is properly secured in place. The aluminum framed wood panel flooring provides an extremely rigid and secure flooring system for your boat. Wood flooring is recommended for multi-passenger uses, dogs, standing, fishing, and all versatile inflatable boating applications. Watch the video above for proper technique &amp; floor board alignment instructions.

<ul style="list-style-type: square;"><li id="isPasted">The most effective method of affixing registration numbers to a PVC inflatable boat is to put the registration numbers on a 3-inch high board and then hang the board over the side of the boat as near to the bow as possible. The perimeter rope handles that are included on all Newport inflatable boats, work as a great attachment point. USCG rules say that the vessel&apos;s registration numbers must be visible at all times (not permanently attached).</li><li>If you&apos;re insistent on permanently attaching letters to your boats, we do not recommend using stickers. These almost always crack and fall off within a year. Instead, we recommend using a stencil and then using either a permanent magic marker (which works great) or using Krylon spray paint with a very light pre-coat primer. The best spray paint is Krylon Fusion for Plastic (2326).</li></ul>

Cut a piece of repair material large enough to overlap the damaged area by approximately 2 inches and round off the edges. Using a fine brush, apply glue to the underside of the patch and around the area to be repaired. Only apply a thin layer, too much glue will often interfere with a proper repair Wait 10 minutes for glue to set. Then apply a second thin layer of glue to both the patch and the boat as well. Wait another 8 minutes for glue to set. Then apply a 3rd very thin layer of glue to the patch and the boat. Let sit for 5 minutes (don&#x2019;t allow it to completely dry) and then firmly place the patch on the damaged area. Apply a patch so that all air bubbles will be forced out of the patch. Wait 10 minutes, and then inflate the chamber very slightly, just so the tube is lifted away from any other side of the tube, so it doesn&#x2019;t get glued together. Use a weight to apply 3&#x2010;5 lbs. of pressure for 24 hours. After the patch has dried, apply glue around the edges for a complete seal (then let dry for an additional 12 hours).&#xA0;
