ATTENTION: If your Sea Eagle is losing pressure, it does
not necessarily mean it is leaking. If it is inflated during the
heat of the day and the temperature drops during the night
it will be softer in the morning.
If launching in very cold water, the air inside may contract
and cause a loss of pressure. Add more air to restore to full
pressure. If temperature is not a factor and your boat is los-
ing air pressure, it’s time to look for a leak.
LOOK: Visually inspect the boat close up and if necessary,
flip it over and closely check the outside. Any large leaks
when your boat looses a considerable amount of air should
be clearly visible.
TIGHTEN: Be sure to check the tightness of the one-way
recessed valves as well and if necessary, tighten them with
the valve wrench included in the repair kit canister.
LISTEN: If you have a rough idea of where your leak is but
can’t see it, you may want to try listening for it as you may
be able to hear the air escaping and pinpoint the leak.
SOAP & WATER: Inflate the boat to full pressure. Mix a
couple of tablespoons of dishwashing 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 bub-
bles or make whistling or sputtering noises. Often, spray
bottles don’t work.

Even though our Sea Eagles are very rugged and tough,
you may still experience the occasional puncture through
use of your boat. Fortunately most repairs are fairly easy
and only take a few minutes.
For extensive repairs, please contact us directly to provide
you with further assistance. The best way to do this is to e-
mail us a digital photo of the area in question along with
your hull identification number to staff@seaeagle.com
.
You can also call us directly at 1-800-748-8066 ex. 314 and
ask to speak with Technical Support for further assistance
or a quote for having your boat mailed to our facilities for
our professional repair services.
Sea Eagle Repair fees start at $75.00 and does not include
return shipping charges. Please note that Sea Eagle does
not service any other brand other than our own. All items
sent to our repair facilities must have prior authorization in
the form of a Return Authorization Number.
Repair Kit
Your Sea Eagle comes
standard with a repair
kit that includes two 4
in. x 3 in. swatches of-
material and two tubes
of PVC glue.
Pinholes
Trace the outline of the
patch material and cut
using scissors. Trace
the outline around the
effected area of the
boat and coat the patch
and boat with the repair
kit glue.
Wait about 5 minutes or
until the surface of the
glue hazes over then
apply the patch. Do not
apply wet glue to wet
glue. If you have ac-
cess to electricity, heat
the glue with a hair
dryer then apply the
patch. This method pro-
duces the best results.
Mate the patch to the
boat and smooth down
until the patch adheres.
Do not inflate, allow at
least 24 hours to cure
before inflating.
