Excellent - just bought a honwave t30 and this will save a load of hassle! can you tell me how long (roughly) you would get out of a full battery charge (I know there are different types of batteries but just roughly) great Vid...👍👍👍👍👍👍
I have the dewalt workbench blower which is just as good, but I heat the Milwaukee is even better. (Ie less manual top up). Game changer for those that don’t have one.
Yes, I should have mentioned this, but this is the first thing my mate said 'Oh I already have loads of batteries and a charger'. So thanks Rob 👍 hope your okay 😃
Hi just suscribed ive just got a seago 290 sib and bought a decathlon pump should have watched this video first unsure of the presure what psi did you set the decathlon pump to as ive been told 2 psi thanks good vids just going through them now
Extremely important, so you only use this to get the bulk of the air in then you top up with manual pump with a gauge or a hand pump. If your manual pump does not have a gauge you can buy one that you twist onto the tube to check the pressure, but I would recommend getting one on the pump 👍. I use the leaf blower to inflate the boat and then an electric pump to finish it off whilst I unload the van.
Nice 1, ive just purchased 1 of these. Im guessing that u have2 quickly turn the valve back out so the air doesnt all rush out again. Cos ur not using a valve adaptor? Is that correct? Thanks... jj
Nice one. I have bought the exact same Makita leaf blower before watching this video but haven't tried it out yet. Nice to see that it works :) I was planning to glue a valve adapter to the leaf blower but you seem to be doing fine without.
Thanks for the comment, so on the video I open the valve and then place the leaf blower end directly over it and once finished I take it off and quickly tighten the valve. I have seen some people glue the adapter for the boat onto the end of the leaf blower do you don’t need to do this.
Ive been using an Air mattress pump for my paddle board. It gets my board to the point where its inflated and ready to take air from a high pressure pump in 3-5 minutes. The best part is it cost me $15 bucks on amazon.
@@SouthysFishing Im sure you could find one which is battery powered. Mine is powered off a DC outlet in my car which works well for my application as i am usually inflating it where I drop in.
Works great thanks. Any tips for non electric topping up on the water? I'm thinking the foot pumps wont be much fun on an air deck? I have a presta adaptor to boat valve but doubt a bike pump will get far.. :-)
That deacatalon pump is slllowww :s should invest In a Bravo 12v pump (I got the one with Croc clips not sure on model?) and a small car battery bit of a layout but total game changer can get my honwave t35 inflated in under 5 mjns and to correct pressure too so no having to go round with a gauge an toppin it up with them killer foot pumps 😁
silly question as just ordered one for my red sea sib, when you say open the valve and place blower over end, does that mean the valve is in 2way mode and you have to be quick to lock it
For you perhaps, but not for everyone! There are a variety of variables that affect this application. You're not the first one to have tried it! Short and plain; The type of inflatable. One's setup (rigging). Financial conditions. These are just a few amongst others besides, with the leaf blower you have to be there, physically holding it. With the automatic pump, you don't! You can be doing other stuff therefore, speeding the process!... Just saying.
Yes you are right. However I normally go with one other person so one does the pumping one gets the stuff. It does take a couple of mins with the electric one after if you want some time I finish your last bits 👌 anyway whatever works for you, tight lines
I love ya videos and then I seen the worst offence a grown man can do.... crocs!!!. I have lost all respect. You can't be cool and own a SIB and then let yourself down by wearing crocs. Great video I use my shop vac the same way just without the crocs. It takes no more then 2 mins to Inflate.
I bought one one these and the battery......best tip ever....thanks !!!!
No worries!
Absolute humdinger of a method that is Lad. Definitely investing in one of those fandangle blow thingys. Thanks for sharing 😊
Haha no worries
genius !!
im getting one
when you back out on your adventures buddy ive missed your videos.
Got a lot planned, off on a few trips down to Cornwall this year but my first session out fishing should be in a few weeks!! Bring it on 😃😃
Excellent - just bought a honwave t30 and this will save a load of hassle! can you tell me how long (roughly) you would get out of a full battery charge (I know there are different types of batteries but just roughly) great Vid...👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks for watching, I have pumped my boat up 3-4 times and not needed to charge it. I am unsure of exactly how long you would get though
@@SouthysFishing Thanks Bud - that's really useful for me to know - cheers again for the great vid! 👍👍
I have the dewalt workbench blower which is just as good, but I heat the Milwaukee is even better. (Ie less manual top up).
Game changer for those that don’t have one.
Defo a game changer!
Intersting video Ben, and many peeps already have the Makita batteries for drills etc so no extra cost there
Yes, I should have mentioned this, but this is the first thing my mate said 'Oh I already have loads of batteries and a charger'. So thanks Rob 👍 hope your okay 😃
Thank you! This is the best way took seconds.
Not a problem!
Hi are you using an attachment or opening the valves to allow the air in from the leaf blower , that’s a game changer love the leaf blower
I just open the valve, push it against it and then when I pull it away quickly close it 👍 works a treat
Hi just suscribed ive just got a seago 290 sib and bought a decathlon pump should have watched this video first unsure of the presure what psi did you set the decathlon pump to as ive been told 2 psi thanks good vids just going through them now
My tubes should be 0.25bar and the keel is 0.35bar but yours may be slightly different... 😊 Glad you like the videos!
Excellent video! But as a beginner, can you tell me how accurate the final air pressure has to be and how do you measure this? Thanks.
Extremely important, so you only use this to get the bulk of the air in then you top up with manual pump with a gauge or a hand pump.

@@SouthysFishing Thanks. I have an olive green SIB, will i need to factor in solar gain or will the cold sea off set this?
@@jjs3287 When the boat is in the water it will lose some air yeah, so keep an eye if you have a inflatable deck.
@@SouthysFishing Thanks!

That is correct😎

No problem, thanks for watching. It is so much quicker!
And it's not even that expensive when you already have the batteries.
I bought the valve adapter, but you can't put any extra pressure with it.
Leaf blower's conic hose alone is a little faster.
@@boatsandoutboards9070 that is good to know
Hi Ben, as discussed I use this , good demonstration, I think will be taking mine out as added safety with a manual one in case a get a need 👍.
Yeah not a bad shout!
How do u fit the adapter for the boatvalves on the blower?
Would really like to do this myself. Seems only some leafblowers have the narrow tips

You can get small hand pumps to top up but it is either that for foot pump if not electric 🙂 thanks for watching check out my other videos !

I've got a bravo 👍 5 minutes, I'd like to see that in action which model?
I use a lilo pump then foot pump. Only takes me about 3 mins. Lilo pump was 9£ from bnm
Yep also a good option!
Hi what about deflation? Could you also use that for deflating?
Yes you can! It works really well!
@@SouthysFishing Thank you for the respond
silly question as just ordered one for my red sea sib, when you say open the valve and place blower over end, does that mean the valve is in 2way mode and you have to be quick to lock it
i think it is, just watched again the changeovers and you look to twist the value
Yeah you are right it is.
Wich model is that?
Thank you
Link is in the description 🙂
How do you know what pressure is??
I top it up with an electric pump after to get it to pressure.
How many PSI is it able to get the SIB?
0.25 bar for the tubes, 0.35 bar for the floor. Sorry not sure what it is in PSI.
Is your sib still going strong have u had any punchers yet?
Hi mate, still going strong only puncture I had was when I was an idiot and clipped it on a wall when carrying it 👍
@@SouthysFishing ok thats been good going then fair play
@@mattschannel1502 tbh I am surprised it's taken a beating and has held up nice
I'm tempted to buy the new boatworld v deck it's there version of the honwave but much cheaper but reviews are looking really positive
Ben, what attachment do you use on the end of the nozzle to fit the honwave valve tightly??
I don't have an attachment. Just open the valve and hold it against the tube 👍
How about deflating?
Yeah it can suck all the air out too. Ready to fold up
it will work with Excel boats ?
Yep, I am just holding it over the open value 👍
For you perhaps, but not for everyone!
There are a variety of variables that affect this application.
You're not the first one to have tried it!
Short and plain;
The type of inflatable.
One's setup (rigging).
Financial conditions.
These are just a few amongst others besides, with the leaf blower you have to be there, physically holding it. With the automatic pump, you don't! You can be doing other stuff therefore, speeding the process!...
Just saying.
Yes you are right. However I normally go with one other person so one does the pumping one gets the stuff. It does take a couple of mins with the electric one after if you want some time I finish your last bits 👌 anyway whatever works for you, tight lines

Hahahahahaha!!! The Mrs got them for me, proper comfy 😂😂😂😂 this had made my day
Men who wear crocs are going to the downfall of western civilization.
