Using a pen, trace the
outline of your patch
which should be large
enough to overlap
the damaged area by
approximately 1/2”.
Angle the pencil inward a
bit so that the ink will be
covered by the patch later.
Ap ply ad he sive to the
dull side of the patch and
around the area to be
repaired. Coat the affected
area lightly but completely
with glue. If available, heat
the glued surfaces with a
hair dryer.
Place the patch on the
damaged area and then
press down firmly. Allow to
cure for at least 24 hours.
A temperature of 160°
degrees will activate the
adhesive. NEVER use a
heat gun on your boat.

TROUBLESHOOTING & REPAIRS
2-Part Adhesive
The adhesive that comes
standard in your repair kit
works for most repairs and
installations, but for more
detailed and extensive
repair we recommend a
2-part PVC adhesive.
Valve Replacement
DO NOT change out the
valve unless you are sure
it is broken. In most cases
the valve will not leak.
Because the base of the
valve is built into the boat
it cannot be replaced
without cutting the
chamber open.
Suggested tools include
channel lock pliers, valve
wrench (included with
your repair kit) and piece
of repair material (also
found in the repair kit).
Inflate the chamber to
full pressure if possible
and loosen with the valve
wrench by turning it
counterclockwise. Deflate
the chamber and unscrew
the valve body from the
base.
