Figured as much. I don't know specific YAM pressures, but my QS tender is the same size and general design. So, for general guidelines the tubes take 3.5psi, the keel 6psi and the airdeck 11psi.

Don't blame me if they go POP!

Tubes 3-3.5 psi, normal keel pressure 3.0, 6.0 is wanting bumpy keel on choppy seas, 10-12 psi for air floor best rigidity.

Happy Sibbing

Reading from my Yam manual it says that tube and keel pressure should be 3.4 psi and the inflatable floor should be 11.3 psi. There's a tag on my keel inlet that tells me the pressure, I don't have to worry about an air floor. Mine's wood!

I think the whole lot would go bang well before that pressure

I have found the manual for my Yam 280sti. below is the information on tubes and floor.
Tube pressure 3.5 Psi.
Pump floor to capacity (until pump nozzle releases)
Pump inflatable keel.

some more interesting info

Should an air chamber fail, shift the weight to the opposite side
secure the leaking chamber as necessary (by tying or holding up)
and immediatly proceed to the nearest shore
