Installation steps

Charge, fit and set, in six steps.

Use the pressure specified by your boat manufacturer when preparing your tubes and selecting your cap's pressure mode.

  1. Charge in direct sunlight

    Place your Neversoft caps in direct sunlight for one day before installation.

  2. Pre-inflate your boat

    If it is not already inflated, inflate your boat's tubes to the manufacturer's PSI specification before fitting the caps. Neversoft caps maintain tube pressure; they are not intended to inflate a boat from flat.

  3. Fit the Neversoft cap

    Remove the original valve cap and replace it with your matching Neversoft cap. No tools are needed.

  4. Check automatic activation

    Once fitted, the cap senses pressure: the pump runs briefly and the indicator lights flash. The number of blinks shows the cap's current mode.

  5. Set your pressure mode

    Select the mode that matches your boat manufacturer's recommended tube pressure, using the programming sequence and the table below.

  6. Relax and enjoy

    That's it — your Neversoft cap is set. Time to kick back and enjoy your favourite beverage.

Step 5 · Set your pressure mode

Four target pressures, one to match your builder.

The mode you choose is the average high pressure the pump holds the tubes at. Set it to the figure your boat's manufacturer specifies.

  1. Enter programming mode

    When first fitted, the pump runs briefly and the lights flash to show its current mode. Remove the cap while the lights are flashing to enter programming mode.

  2. Watch the blink sequence

    Each mode's sequence runs for approximately 15 seconds before moving on to the next. Use the table to identify each setting.

  3. Select your mode

    Refit the cap while the lights are flashing the mode you want. The LEDs flash the selected sequence back to confirm it.

Neversoft target average high pressure settings: the LED sequence for each mode and the tube pressure it holds.
LED sequenceModeTarget pressure
1 blinkMode 12.0 PSI (140 mb)
2 blinksMode 22.5 PSI (170 mb)
3 blinksMode 33.0 PSI (205 mb)
4 blinksMode 43.5 PSI (240 mb)
The mb values are approximate. Select the appropriate mode using your boat manufacturer's pressure guidance.
One fitting, then nothing

On in a couple of minutes, then hands off for good.

Fit it to the valve, choose the target your builder specifies, and let it hold the pressure from there.
