P.S. it seems like it should be the cost of the manufacturer to replace unused, but expired, caps and cartridges. Not the consumer. I'm surprised Mustang couldn't produce a mechanism with a longer shelf life, especially considering the price... but let me guess, "survival has no price"?

@@MustangSurvival The crucial thing missing from this video is that you first need to OPEN/UNLOCK the NEW hammar inflator cap BEFORE trying to mate it with the inlet valve. This would have been super helpful if this was included (probably should have been mentioned somewhere around the 7-minute mark of the video).

​@@JoshMerklethank you for your feedback, we appreciate your input and understand the importance of providing comprehensive instructions. Could you clarify which instruction you are referring to in our owner's manual? chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/images.salsify.com/image/upload/s--1tTQbCCL--/xqbfaihkintqk9a2tfbc.pdf With the re-arming process, you do want to be sure that the mating process of the hammer cap and the inflator body is done without turning the center shaft of the new inflator cap to ensure the proper functionality of the new rearm kit. Looking forward to chatting further.

​ @MustangSurvival ​ Sorry... that link looks broken/suspicious, so I'm not clicking on it. What I'm referring to is... when i went thru the steps of re-arming my kit, there was no mention about needing to OPEN the little black nob that the guy talks about in the video about putting your thumb down on and pushing down on to lock in place. So... I spent a good amount of time trying to re-arm the kit 'as it was' before finally trying to open it with the key and then trying to place it on and push down with my thumb/finger on the black piece. I'm talking specifically about the 7m:03s mark, where he grabs the inflator cap and places it on top with the inlet valve and then at the 7m:27s mark he places his thumb on the black ring and pushes down. PRIOR TO THAT, there was never any mention about OPENING the inflator cap with the tool/key... so how would a user know they need to do that, if this was their 1st time?! This was my ONLY PROBLEM with the video. The rest of the video was spot-on and perfect for a 1st time noobie such as myself. But this part was a key missing part of the info, that cost me about 20mins of frustration.

Hey Jon, Sorry to hear about this! Yes, the HIT might not be the best fit for paddleboarding. Hoping these come in handy for some summer boating adventures! If you do have any questions or need further assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out.
