Skeena & Telkwa Assembly – Top-Up Valve

Two top-up valves are included with your Skeena/Telkwa DIY Packraft kit – one for the seat bottom, and one for the backrest. The Boston valve in the packraft includes a one-way valve, so adding a top-up valve to your packraft isn’t necessary (you can open the Boston valve and add air through it while on the water), but you may prefer to install a top-up valve in your packraft anyway, so they can be purchased separately.

If you do want to install a top-up valve in your packraft, follow the steps on this page:
