Setting up on boat:

Using the Straps: 

Using the pump valve adapter: 

 

Inflated Sebba Shade:

A properly inflated Sebba Shade should be stiff and sturdy.  If there is any sagging or if the tubes can bend, then it is not inflated correctly. Ensure that your pump is set between 6.5 and 8.0 PSI and that air is not leaking from the pump hose during inflation. See the pump valve adapter section above.

Pumps:

Pumps are sold separately. Any kiteboarding pump or Stand Up Paddleboard (SUP) style pump will work with Sebba Shade. There are dozens to choose from. Check out your local paddleboard or kiteboarding store, or Amazon.  Electric pumps should always be a two-stage pump, for faster inflation.

Listed here are a few pump options for purchase on Amazon.  Any of these will inflate Sebba Shade in 1-3 minutes.  Prices as of Feb 24th, 2023.

Corded Electric Pump, $89

Electric pumps will connect to a 12 V DC receptacle (cigarette lighter). Since a boat's receptacle may be corroded, it is best to have the option to connect the cord directly to the boat's battery terminals with alligator clips.

Airflow Control Into Struts:

If air isn't flowing into a strut during inflation, the strut shut device is likely closed. Watch this video to restart the flow. Why is this device there? To close off sections of the inflatable bladders when locating and repairing a leak.
