I want to show you how I make the valve. The only drawback is that you need to make two of them. One to inflate, the other to deflate. But it’s still easier than a Boston valve. I can’t post a photo of the boat without permission, since I designed it myself, so I’m posting a photo of the valve so you can understand the principle on a boat with a smooth side inside. If you’re interested, I’ll add more photos.

The translator did not translate correctly. These two valves are lighter than one Boston valve.

I use a translator, so please excuse any mistakes. I want to share my soldering iron modification. I combined two soldering irons. I took the base from a mechanical one and the handle from an electronic one. I drilled an additional hole in the base for the temperature sensor and also made a hole in the handle (in the plastic) for the wires. Everything else fits and does not need to be modified.

Hello, everyone! I am not a bot. How do I post on the forum? I would like to share my experience in making accessories. I have some interesting ideas.

It’s a good idea, but I made boats for friends for special military operations. Speed, simplicity, and weight are essential there. They take several boats. Usually, when a mine hit, they threw the boat away. If it survived, they unscrewed the plug, threw it away, quickly deflated it, and left. There are several spare plugs in the pocket. If the boat is to be used for travel, then your decision is very good.
