Excel 330 tube pressure

Hi All,
After some confirmation if possible please. I have an Excel 330d inflatable boat. Printed on the inside of the tubes within the inflation instructions it advises the tubes to be inflated to .4 bar which i have been doing however online and calling Excel both suggest .25

Can anybody please confirm, Im not sure of the year of my boat, its the White model not the newer darker ones.

Thanks!

If the Sib happens to count with a wooden bow board, don't inflate the keel to 0.40 bar with sun and use will end bending and possibly cracking the middle wooden portion at which the inflatable upper keel rets aginst. 0.25 is enough to achieve a firm keel condition...

Happy Boating

You factory setting is 0.4 bar that's the working pressure for best performance just monitor in hot weather although the keel is sheltered and next to the water it doesn't get as affected as the tubes.
