see bubbles forming, check your valve seating and base and be sure the valve insert is screwed tight. If you continue to have
problems it’s probably time to order new valves. Replacement of the whole valve can be done with a simple tool that comes
with the replacement valve.
2. Finding punctures
If the boat is losing air, and all the valves are good you probably have a small puncture. Small punctures can be repaired
easily and permanently. Spray around inside and outside of the hull until air bubbles mark the position of the leak. If you have
no luck nding a slow leak with air bubbles, inate the boat to maximum air pressure and try to listen to nd the leak. If you
can narrow the area down, return with a spray bottle to identify the source of the leak. Making small repairs. Punctures less
than 3mm / 1/8”in size can be repaired simply without a patch. Deate your boat, then clean and dry area to be repaired.
Apply a small drop of glue to cover the puncture, and let dry 12 hours. If you need to get on the water sooner, let dry 30
minutes and then inate the boat, inating the compartment with the repair only 3/4 full. This repair might not be permanent
so add a drop again at a late date to make it permanent.
3. Rips or Tears
Your Boats come with a repair kit as standard equipment. If you no longer have your repair kit, you can order a new one
from your dealer. Cut a piece of repair material large enough to overlap the damaged area by approximately 12mm / 1/2”,
and round off the edges. Apply our glue to the under side of patch and around the area to be repaired. Too much glue will
interfere with a proper repair. Allow adhesive to become tacky for 2-4 minutes, and then place patch on the damaged area.
Use a weight to apply 3-5 lbs. of pressure for 12 hours. After patch has dried, apply glue around the edges for a complete
seal (dry 4 hours).
4. Large and Difcult Repairs
If you have a difcult repair, contact customer services and we will advise you on the best way to x your boat.
5. If you see water coming into the boat, check the following:
- Is the drain valve open?
- Is the diaphragm in the drain valve working properly?
- Has it rained recently?
- Is there a hole in the oor?
