Scanstrut ATMOS Built-In Onboard Air Station (SC-AOB-A2)

Scanstrut ATMOS — Flush-Mount Onboard Inflation System for Boats

The Scanstrut ATMOS is a permanently installed, waterproof onboard air station designed to live in your boat's console, dashboard, or helm panel. Built to replace the portable compressors and hand pumps that clutter your deck, it inflates and deflates paddleboards, foils, tenders, towables, and other inflatables at the push of a button — with no cables to uncoil and no pump to stow.

The ATMOS uses an innovative two-stage pump: it starts in high-volume, low-pressure (HVLP) mode to fill volume quickly, then automatically shifts to high-pressure, low-volume (HPLV) mode to hit your exact target PSI. Set your target pressure on the backlit LCD display and walk away — the unit stops automatically when it gets there.

Parts Desk Insights

Best use case: The ATMOS is ideal for boat owners who regularly use inflatables — particularly those who launch a SUP, tender, or foil board frequently and want a clean, permanent solution at the helm rather than dealing with a portable compressor. It's a popular upgrade on pontoons, cruisers, and center-consoles where deck space is limited and convenience matters. The built-in format keeps the deck clear and gives the boat a finished, custom look.

Common questions: Customers often ask about cavity depth — at 4.33" minimum, it fits most helm pads and console panels but measure carefully before ordering. Customers also ask about valve compatibility: the six included adapters cover the most common inflatable types, but confirm your specific valve type before purchasing. The unit draws up to 12 A, so verify your panel circuit can support it. The optional white sun cover (SC-AOB-A2-SC1) is a popular add-on for light-coloured helm panels.
