Zodiac floor to keel connection hose replacement

[whalerbob]

I need to replace the connection hose that allows the keel to be inflated while inflating the floor. I have found the part but would like some instructions on how to remove the hose fittings from the raft.

Is there a zodiac dealer near you.
They can talk you through it.
I have to try and remember where I saw the pictures of how to do it.
This is from memory
I remember that you have to take out the air floor and I believe there is one fitting on the keel and the other end goes to the floor connector

Not my local Zodiac deal, money talks or you walk. You are correct, one end attaches to the keel and the other to the floor. You purchase the hose and the two end fittings as a whole. My question is how do you remove the fittings.

He has the Acti-v model which is entirely different than a Zoom. The floor and keel are inflated through the same valve.

The floor and the keel are high pressure.
The active hull boats are the sports car version of the zodiac boats.
The active v keel sits lower in the water.
It's in between a regular inflatable and a true rib.
It improves stability and performance a great deal
