Just got my first Tender.......

Just got my first Tender, I bought it second hand but it has had very little use, looks in good condition to me (but what do I know). It has come with everything but instructions.

Do any of you know what order it should all be pumped up in ? It has an "AirFloor" which isn't quite as snug a fit as it could be, im presuming it is due to the order in which I inflated the chambers.

There is a rubber bung in the back I take it this should be left in at all times when in use?

The engine is a 4-Stroke (Yamaha F4) am I correct in thinking that 4-Strokes don't need any oil adding to the fuel?

When the engine is in use should it only be directed side to side to steer or am I suppose to tilt it variably also (as per trimming a leg)?

If the tilt is pre-fixed what sort of degree of tilt should it be set to?

Will it need running in fresh water to clean it after each use in salt water?

Finally it's a Yam 260 with a Yamaha 4hp, is this a good combination and what sort of speed would I get it up to using it on my own ?

Thanks in advance.
