There are four tracking
strips on the bottom of the
boat which help to
maintain course. The
tracking strips are very
flexible but if they
become deformed, heat
with a hairdryer until they
return to their original
shape (1-3 minutes).

Repair Kit
All Sea Eagles come with
a repair kit which includes
patching material, PVC glue
and a valve tool
Pinholes
Deate your boat and
thoroughly clean and dry
the area that be repaired.
For small punctures, less
than 1/8”, apply a small
drop of glue and allow 24
hours to dry.
Patching
The most common
repairs are a puncture or
small cut. A penny size
patch is sufficient for
repairs of this type.
Patch should be as small as
reasonably possible.

PackFish7™ | Trouble Shooting: Air Bladder
Soapy Water Test
Inflate the bladder to full
pressure. Mix a couple of
tablespoons of dish
washing liquid in a bucket
of water.
Spread the soapy water
on the leaking chamber
with a large sponge or
hand towel. The leak may
produce bubbles or make
whistling or sputtering
noises. Often, spray bottles
don’t work.
To inspect the air
bladder, deflate the boat
and pull the bladder out
the zipper opening.
