## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are the valves big enough for motorized air pumps?  We don't want to blow these up by mouth.**
A: The valves are small like typical inner tubes, but are able to be blown up with an air pump if you have one of the small nozzle attachments.

**Q: How big is the whole?**
A: I am 5'10" 240 pounds & I have plenty of room in this tube.

**Q: what should i use to inflate my tube?**
A: You can also inflate them by mouth, takes about ten minutes

**Q: What is the gauge or mils of the vinyl? Is it different between top and bottom?**
A: Hi. This is from the product page: "Heavy-duty vinyl construction with strong 12-gauge top and 16-gauge bottom"
I've owned a couple of these and used them in a pool or floating on a creek. Wouldn't trust the included rope for tubing behind a boat but that's an easy fix. Hope this helped.
