3.7.4.3 OTHER REPAIRS
The other repairs that may be carried out without sending the liferaft to the Manufacturer are mainly repairs
required by the out-of-roundness of the holes of the seats for the inflation, relief and non return valves, or minor
repairs of the containers.
In the first case, it is sufficient to glue to the panel a reinforcing circular rim having an inner diameter equal to
the hole original one and an outer diameter greater by about 80 mm than the inner one.
Only minor damages on the container, that is to say faults in the outer layer of the gelcoat, may be repaired.
Proceed as follows:
1. Scratch the damaged gelcoat.
2. Degrease and clean the area with acetone.
3. Fill up the damaged area with some stucco.
4. Once the stucco has solified, abrade the area giving it the right shape; then polish the area and, if
necessary, apply a thin layer of gelcoat.
