"Bill McKee" wrote in message ink.net... I inflate each time I tube. The wal-mart pump will also suck the air out. If I fish local, I use the shop vac to inflate and I just throw it in the back of the truck. 5 minutes to the local bass ponds. If I go on long trips with the camper and or boat, I inflate when I get to the water. Just plug the pump in and in less than 5 minutes the tube is ready to go. Have you noticed any particular benefit to deflating your float tube every time? I don't float tube, but my dad has a nice canvas covered float tube with pockets, etc... He bought it at a sporting good show...15-20 years ago maybe. It has never been deflated since he got it. Seems to be ok. I think he has only used it five or six times, but... -- Bob La Londe www.YumaBassMan.com

Rubberized products, like float tube and pontoon boat bladders, are best store partially inflated. At least enough that there is no crease in the bladder. This will promote a much longer life. -- Frank Reid Euthanize to respond
