LEAK DETECTION AND REPAIR
AIR LEAK DETECTION
If your boat appears a bit soft, it might not be because of leak. If the boat was inflated late in the day
with 32
°C (90°F) air, that air might cool down to 25°C (77°F) overnight. The cooler air exerts less
pressure on the hull, so it could appear soft the next morning. If there has been no temperature
variation, you need to start looking for a leak:
Take a good look at your boat from just a few feet away. Flip it over and closely check over the
outside. Any large leaks should be clearly visible.
If you have an idea, where your leak is, use a mix of dishwashing liquid and water in a spray
bottle and spray over the suspicious areas. Any leak will produce bubbles that will pinpoint the
leak location.
Check valves for leak. Spray soapy water around the valve and the valve base if necessary.
SMALL REPAIRS
Inadvertent punctures can be repaired using included vinyl repair patch and vinyl glue. Also, you can
purchase additional PVC or silicone-based glue for repairing camping mats, tents or shoes from your
local market to patch your boat. Refer to the instructions for glue application.
1. Thoroughly clean and dry the damaged area. Completely deflate the product.
2.
Cut a portion of the patch to cover the puncture an allow an additional ¼“ on all sides. Always
cut a round patch, never leave square corners.
3. Be sure the repair area is completely dry.
4. Apply generous coat glue to the vinyl repair patch and to the product.
5. Allow the glue to dry for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the glue becomes tacky.
6. Apply the patch to the product, using your thumb or finger, apply even pressure across the
entire surface of the patch. Make sure that the edges of the patch are pressed down along the
entire diameter.
7. Allow the product to dry for at least 12 hours before inflating and using.
If there are large tears/cracks, bring the water craft or any essential equipment into a professional
repair shop for appropriate repair or replacement.
