The DINGY INFLATION SYSTEM consists of a commercially available 12 volt  float toy inflator, modified by me to increase the efficiency of the unit and increase it's flow. It's mounted inside the FENDER STOWAGE BAY. the 2 ports visible are SUCTION and PRESSURE ports. The raft is being deflated with the SUCTION port. The hose can be screwed into either one, as needed. These are 1 1/2" threaded pvc plumbing parts. The operating switch is mounted to the side of the port assembly. Inflation/deflation time for the 4 person Sevylor raft is 1 minute.

These views show the installation inside the FENDER STOWAGE BAY.  The piping is 1 1/2" plumbing sink traps, and tubing sections cut to length. This system is direct wired to the battery banks, for emergency use in case the electrical system fails.
