First off, welcome to the site and glad you decided to join us.
No on to the questions. I have never had an ODC but, hopefully someone will jump in that does.
I DO have an adaptor that might be what you need, with the plastic hose on one end. If it is what you need I would be happy to send it to you as I don't need it. It is a plastic and sort of screws in.
As far as filling. For my boats I have found that deflating and then unzip the outer cover and add baby powder. Helps the tube slide inside the cover. Could get rid of those wrinkles.
I have never trusted gauges on tubes, specially Urethane, or PVC/Vinyl.
Just fill it and squeeze the end. if you are able to but a little dent you should be good.
Just remember, temperature and altitude will effect this tube so, maybe start off with it slightly deflated, then fill on the spot. In the summer it might feel full, but then put in cold water, and it might feel like it is loosing air.
Good luck with the new toy and keep reporting here.
