Outcast carries a few air gauges for pontoons.
So many people under inflate with anticipation of afternoon inflating the boat and I got to admit, I never understood that. I do understand the fear of popping though.
When I get to the water I put my slightly soft pontoon (soft from anticipated travel to higher elevation) in the water while I string rods and put on hippers, then I load the boat with motor and battery and whatever other gear. I then top of the boat to bounce a quarter off tight. If it is a very cool morning and the afternoon much warmer, I will cruise to a shore and let a little air out.
This is without a gauge, a gauge will take the guess work out.
As far as recommended pressure on your Southfork, I emailed Bucks to satisfy my curiosity, but you could call them.
