[#0000FF]Most of the automatic PFDs also include a manual blow up valve...on a long stem. There is a little valve on that you can push to release air.
Still waiting to get my rearm kit. There is supposed to be instructions with it. But basically you just remove the old CO2 cartridge, insert the new one, rotate it all the way to the right and make sure the little window shows green instead of red.
I have had problems with the inflatable seat on my Escape since I got it. It loses air pressure and lets me slide forward...and out of my tube. That means I have to carry a pump and go to shore periodically to firm it up again. It is comfy when fully aired up but after while I have to keep pushing myself back up inside the seat. Not good.
Dave sent me a couple of tools for tightening the fill valve and the pressure release valve. That should help. But I have had to make modifications on most of the float tube seats I have had over the years. My size and weight...along with a touchy back...means I need special support and comfort. But it is doable.
What model ODC tube did you get...and did you get foam or inflatable seats?
