REPAIRS AND PATCHING
1. FIND THE HOLE —
Inflate the deck until firm and clean with damp towel. While the
deck is DRY, go over it with your hands and feel for the puncture. Often the small holes
look like a scratch so check these areas first. If you find an area that you suspect is a
hole, wet the area and feel for the air. Sometime you will HEAR the whistle of a small
hole before you feel it. BE PATIENT. START ON THE OUTSIDE TOP AND WORK DOWN
ON EACH PANEL.
2. CIRCLE THE HOLE WITH A PEN —
This will help you locate the area to patch once
the deck is deflated.
3. CLEAN THE AREA —
Make sure the area around the hole is cleaned and dry. Then cut
a patch that will fit over the hole allowing a few inches larger for gluing surface.
4. APPLY PVC GLUE AND PATCH
— You can find this adhesive at any West Marine or
Hardware store under “inflatable PVC adhesive.” Place patch over hole and allow to
dry for 5 minutes.
5. OUTLINE THE PATCH WITH AQUA SEAL
(sold separately) let stand for 24 hours.
Aqua Seal dries very slowly, but the repair will be PERMANENT once it is sealed.
Patches without Aqua Seal will work, but will not be permanent and eventually
can come off.
A repair kit is included. See our step by step repair guide below.
