I need help with a pontoon boat!!!

[diamonddave]

I have just been given a water skeeter pontoon boat, the lake placid series. The only issue is that the company apparantly is out of buisness and it is missing the air valve adapter.
The guy I got it from tried to order two different ones and neither of them fit. Any suggestions on where to pick up an adapter or does anyone have a spare they would be willing to sell me? Too big of a shame to junk a brand new boat because i cannt fill it up.......

Is it something that can be made on a lathe?

I had the same issue, took a piece of garden hose squeezed it so it fit the hole and pushed down on the valve and it works fine

The K-pumps will fit your pontoon boat valve with their own adaptor. I had a water skeeter, outcast and a bucks bag pontoon boats at the same time and used the one pump to inflate them without having to change the adaptor.

You can order one from NRS inflatables

Ken, I dont think so it is a molded sealed plastic unit so it would be pretty tough to do.
Wayne, how do you put the hose in, push down on the valve and still fill it with air all at the same time??
This is my first experience with this type of valve so im kinda stumped....
