Denting
Check the O-Ring base
for dents. Denting can
occur when the valve
body lies across the
O-Ring during storage.
Heat the O-Ring with
a hairdryer for about a
minute or so until the
dent eases itself out.
Soapy Water Test
Inflate the bladder to full
pressure. Mix a couple
of tablespoons of dish
washing liquid in a
bucket of water.
Spread the soapy water
on the leaking chamber
with a large sponge or
hand towel. The leak
may produce bubbles
or make whistling or
sputtering noises. Often,
spray bottles don’t work.
Debris & Diaphragm
Check the black
diaphragm at the
bottom of the inner
valve for sand or other
debris. Also check the
threads on the base,
body and cap for sand or
debris that might break
the seal.
Retainer Ring
The valve base has a
groove for the retainer
ring. Check that the
retainer ring is in its
groove.
TROUBLE SHOOTING |
Retainer Ring
A common error is to
pinch the retainer ring
between the valve
body and base.
Trapping the ring
breaks the air tight seal.
If excess material
covers the groove,
the ring will go over if
stretched slightly.
To inspect the air
bladder, deflate the boat
and pull the bladder out
the zipper opening.
There are four tracking
strips on the bottom of
the boat which help to
maintain course. The
tracking strips are very
flexible but if they
become deformed, heat
with a hairdryer until
they return to their
original shape (1-3
minutes).
