What to do if my Advanced Elements AdvancedFrame AE1007 does not hold air while inflating?
- RRichard JohnsonJul 26, 2025
If your Advanced Elements Boat isn't holding air during inflation, there are several potential causes. First, ensure the spring valve's plunger is closed by pushing it in and rotating it counter-clockwise; it should only be open when deflating. Second, verify you're using a bellows foot pump or a double-action hand pump, as a 12-V electric pump may not provide enough pressure to fully inflate the kayak. Finally, even with the plunger closed, a small air leak may occur due to the black rubber gasket inside the cap.
