I have emailed coleman/sevylor tec on how much air pressure is to be in one waitting for an email back from them.Will let you know when I get it .

Cool...but how can it be measured,gauged..etc.. I wonder....I figured that would have been one of the primary instructions in their owners manual...LOL

yes they make a floor kit for FH280. a guy I met oline has a FH 360 and he is making me a pattern of his factory floorboards on a big sheet of paper and sending it to me so I can make mine.

Sevylor makes a pressure gauge its like 12.00 or so.But if you dont know the right pressuer it dosent help on the inside of my boat it say .09 psi or .06bars.Thats seems a quite low to me I would think 2lbs to 3lbs psi would be closer

Damn..you got the hook up...I need one for my 280...I could probaly have someone in our shop make one for me probably for a case of Budwieser. I would need a drawing though of course...

What kind of material is that made out of? It doesnt look like wood.....

Re: Sevylor HF 280 Fish Hunter and Sevylor Trolling Motor Problem

it says marine plywood floorboard its 3/4 in thick.I dont think it has to be that thick.

Re: Sevylor HF 280 Fish Hunter and Sevylor Trolling Motor Problem

Sectional marine plywood floorboard. Will fit boat models T250, T280, T280C, HF250, HF280, XR66, XR86 (GT, GTX, BM), K65, K85, V280K, OSF250K.

Seems like wood wouldnt do good for me at the moment...but maybe this hard pink spongy foam type material that I Have seen packed in crates @ work...hmm...I'll get back to this later..

BTW,I Live in Southern MD and have and plan on using this in the back creeks of the Bay and Potomac and Patuxent Rivers...and there are really some boundaries for me because of tides and winds..etc..any safety advice...I have only taken this out twice but dont go more than about 20 or maybe 50 yards from any given shoreline...

Re: Sevylor HF 280 Fish Hunter and Sevylor Trolling Motor Problem

will thats good to know.I was hoping that it would be big enought to do that.I am getting ready to make a floorborads for it.A friend send me templates of his but may make it to cover the whole floor .And may make the motor mount.I do fabrcation for a living so no big deal fig I would make in out of condut looks like 3/4 and 5/8.I havent decided to make the floor out of 1/2 in or 3/4 plywood yet I think 1/2 in would be strong enought I know the factory is 3/4 just seem a litle thick to me any one think otherwise?

Re: Sevylor HF 280 Fish Hunter and Sevylor Trolling Motor Problem

I seen today on ebay a boot for under 50.00 shipping was 14 I think it fits the FH280 and also a floorborad for the 280 can't remember the price.but I know someone was looking for one on here.just do a search for sevylor and it will come up. the floor was about half of price I have seen elese where. wish it fit my FH360.

Re: Sevylor HF 280 Fish Hunter and Sevylor Trolling Motor Problem

I have the pattens, have cut the pc but haven't gotten the side pc yet.There about 35.00 ea cant remmber the site will have to look there not the same as Sevylor but will work. I am thinking about making a diff floor board a little bit bigger that the factory one they dont go out to the sides like I would want and making a built in seat to set higher with a cup holder . Will make one for the front too.I have made a set of plans to hook 2 pc floor together instead of 3 .But cant seem to put the attachment on here.
