Inflating My Buoy?

[Adam F]

I have bought a new Alderney Bouy for OOTB, but it came deflated (for postage reasons)

 

Now, I thought that it would simply be case of a football type needle adaptor and a handpump, but the needle doesnt seem big enough?

 

The value has a plug which unscrews and I dont want to puncture the buoy by forcing the needle too far..

 

Any ideas?

I guess a phone call to a friendly chandler will tell all.

If you know of anybody that has a electric pump for inflating lilo's they have two valves anyone of them will do to inflate you bouy. as they are large and cone shaped.

If you have a car footpump or a power station with inflator then one of the adaptor will work, I think you have to uncrew the valve before you can inflat it, that was what I had to do to my Alderney buoy when I first got it.

With mine, Adam, I undid the screw and use my airline with a standard trigger operated gun on the end and pushed that into the hole to make a seal. The air pressure is enough to open the valve and inflate it. You don't have to push anything through the valve.

If you are in this area pop it in, or if you launch at Baitor during the week come into the Haven
