GENERAL
This section contains instructions for performing repairs to the Coastal Compact Liferafts.
Repairs normally consist of patching the damage with fabric patches. The patching fabric must be the
same type of material as the item under repair. All rafts are required to be retested after all
major repairs are made. See Chapter 4 – Testing for details.
See Chapter 10 Tools, Equipment, and Materials for detailed descriptions of any tools used in the
following disassembly procedures.

Replace rafts as deemed necessary.
A. Rafts with fabric deterioration caused by contact with oil, grease, or any other
contaminating substance.
B. Rafts failing to pass leakage test due to large multiple areas of porosity of the floatation
fabric that would not be feasible to repair with patches.
C. Rafts with any tear, rip, to abrasion damage exceeding 6in. (15cm) in length.
D. Rafts older than 9 years from the date of manufacture that require major repairs or repairs
other than the minor repairs described in the next section.

not justify repair per the judgment of a competent inspector.
