摘要

A device for joining an inflatable tube to the hull and deck of an inflatable boat. The device includes an outwardly extending deck flange having a trough therein and an outwardly extending hull flange positioned adjacent to the deck flange. The inflatable tube is provided with a tube connector member which is adapted to fit into the trough in the deck flange. An attachment member engages the outward edges of the deck flange and hull flange and includes an attachment flange adapted to extend over a portion of the trough to create a channel in which the tube connector element is received whereby the tube connector element is retained in the trough.
