I just bought a Hurricane 590 im wondering if there are any other RIB owners in seattle. Ive always wanted a 733 but the price is to high so i settled for the little boat.
I have a question ive been searching for the answer all over the net. What adapter do i need to air up my tubes with a bravo 10 pump?

Can’t see properly but that looks the same as mine and no adapter was needed for he Bravo pump.

That looks like a Halkey-Roberts "old-short" valve.
Go here for positive ID and adapters: https://www.nrs.com/repair/hrvalves.asp

That being said, I use mostly Carlson PVC pumps for my boats and I just shove the hose nozzle in the HR valves without any adapters, but it is nice to be able to twist & lock...

Or a section of garden hose that is adapted to the pump work well.

690 bv. You have the old short halkey roberts valve. If you ever have to replace them, you'll use 690 nsbv. Which is the New short.

Hey mavrick, I'm in the Seattle area, just to your north in Shoreline. Lets meet up sometime and talk our boats. Had mine 3 years now. Our thing is boating/camping more wild places. Just did a short trip on the west side of Vancouver Island, last year we went around Moresby Island in Haida Gwaii, year before that out of Port Hardy into Hakai. Think I'm finally nailing a clothesline anchoring system that works here, lets me sleep well.
