[#0000FF]Once you become more familiar with how your craft respond to the temperature variables in the waters you fish...and in the seasons you fish...you can quickly tell by appearance and feel when you need to add or dump a bit of air. Firm to the touch is my guideline. Rock hard is too tight. Soft with wrinkles is a sure sign you need more air.
More critical than watching the air pressure while on the water is keeping it low enough while traveling in a hot vehicle...or storing it in a hot garage. Always a good idea to travel with lower pressure...and to store partially deflated. Much easier to top off the pressure when ready to go fishing than to discover a split out air chamber when you get there.
