What to do if my West Marine AE3032 does not hold air while inflating?

First, ensure the plunger is closed for inflation by pushing it in and rotating counter-clockwise. Confirm you're using a bellows foot pump or a double action hand pump, as a 12-V electric pump may not provide enough pressure. If the kayak still loses air, check for pinholes or holes in the tube by pulling the tube from outer covers and inflating it. If you cannot see or hear where a leak may be, use a clean rag with soapy water and begin rubbing the tube. If a hole is present, bubbles will continually form. Repair using repair kit; for small pinholes, a dab of glue may suffice.
