Operating Your Sea Eagle

Sailing

The limited space of this instruction manual
does not allow us to cover all the fine points of
sailing. We highly recommend purchasing any
of the following manuals on sailing. 
The Handbook of Sailing by Bob Bond, 
Catamaran Sailing by Phil Berman & 
Sailing for Dummies by J.J. & Peter Isler. 

CAUTION/WARNING! 
AVOID POWER LINES! 

The mast on your

SailCat is not insulated and could act as an
electrical conductor. Be careful not to install
the mast near power lines and make sure you
are clear of them in any location (parking lot,
backyard, launching point, etc) and especially
while you’re on the water. 

Gas Motors

The SailCat can take up to a 45 lb., 3HP gas
motor and we recommend using a 15” short
shaft. You should never exceed the weight
limit or the horse power, even if one of them is
within the restriction listed for the boat. Sea
Eagle does not sell gas motors.

Minn Kota Electric Motors

The SailCat can take up to a 74 lb. thrust elec-
tric motor and is easily powered by motors as
low as 30 lb. thrust. A 12v deep cycle marine
battery is needed to power these motors. 
Although we do not sell the batteries for these
motors we do sell both the Minn Kota Portable
Battery Charger & Battery Power Center, both
of which are highly recommended.

Torqeedo 3001L

The Torqeedo 3001L delivers the true thrust of
a 3HP gas engine and includes a Lithium-ion
Manganese battery and charger for easy
transport and convenience. The 3001L is com-
patible with the SailCat and features an on
board digital display and GPS. Spare Batteries
are sold separately. 

All Minn Kota & Torqeedo products come with their own manufac-
turer’s warranty and are not covered under the Sea Eagle Guarantee.

Packing List

All orders placed directly with Sea Eagle come with a picking ticket that
lists all of the items shipped with your order. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND
that you inspect all packages that you receive to ensure that everything
has arrived in good fashion. 

If any item is received damage, please contact the shipping carrier so that
it can be inspected. Once the inspection is complete the shipping carrier
will notify Sea Eagle. If necessary we will arrange repair or replacement of
damaged merchandise. Do not return damaged merchandise until it has
been inspected by the carrier. 

For orders placed with an authorized dealer or resellers it is advised to
contact that dealer or reseller directly if there is any discrepancy with your
order.  

Inflation Valves & Pumps

Recessed One-Way Valves

Remove the valve cap to reveal the valve
stem. Press and turn counterclockwise so that
the stem is in the UP position. When the stem
is in the up position the valve will retain air, to
release air press the stem down and turn
clockwise.

A-41 Foot Pump

The A-41 Foot Pump which is a high capacity
foot pump made of durable ABS plastic. Sim-
ply connect the hose to the inflation port
marked OUT. 

Recessed Valve Adapter 

The recessed valve adapter is located inside
of the orange repair kit canister. Insert the
ribbed end of the valve adapter into the hose
on the foot pump. This valve adapter is not in-
tended for use with electric pumps.

Make sure that the valve stem is in the up po-
sition. Insert the valve adapter into the valve
and turn clockwise to lock into position.
Once the desired pressure is reached you
should feel strong resistance on the foot
pump.

MB-100 Electric Pump (Optional)

Designed specifically for our higher pressure
Sea Eagles. Comes complete with 12v DC
power supply, hose and a various attach-
ments.
