The ARIMAR Soft Line 270 is an 8'10" / 2.7 m folding inflatable tender designed for easy storage, transport, and stable use around the boat or dock. It features a high-pressure inflatable floor, inflatable keel for a V-shaped hull effect, PVC tube construction, and ARIMAR's “Easy System” folding design, which allows the tender to be packed down without removing the floor. This model is one of ARIMAR's most popular folding inflatable boats and is built as a lightweight, practical tender for everyday marine use.

Application Compatibility
The Soft Line 270 is suited for use as a yacht tender, dock-to-boat shuttle, small harbour runabout, or compact inflatable dinghy where easy storage and portability are important. It is designed for short-shaft outboards up to 10 HP and is best matched to boating applications where a lightweight folding tender is preferred over a rigid-floor or RIB-style dinghy.
Fitment Notice
This is not an engine-specific part. Before ordering, confirm the tender length, available storage space, davit or deck storage limits, passenger/load needs, and outboard shaft length. The Soft Line 270 is listed for short-shaft engines, so outboard compatibility should be checked before pairing it with a motor.
When This Part Needs Replacement
Replace or upgrade to this tender when an older dinghy has worn tubes, leaking seams, damaged floor components, UV cracking, failing valves, poor inflation retention, or no longer provides reliable tender service. It is also a practical choice when moving from a heavier tender to a lighter folding inflatable that is easier to transport and store.
Installation Notes
Inflate the tender according to the owner’s manual and confirm each chamber is holding pressure before use. Install the bench seat, oars, and outboard only after the boat is properly inflated and stable. Avoid dragging the PVC tubes over sharp surfaces, rinse with fresh water after saltwater use, and store dry whenever possible to extend service life.

Parts Desk Insight
The Soft Line 270 is a strong middle-size option when you want more room than a very small tender but still need something that can fold down for storage. The inflatable floor and keel are the key features here—they keep the boat lighter and easier to pack while still giving better comfort and handling than a flat-bottom roll-up.
