OPERATING YOUR SEA EAGLE
Working Pressure:
Maximum recommended pressure is 3.2 psi (.22 bar).
Warning:
Over pressurization could lead to catastrophic failure and sudden release of compressed air. Serious
injury to persons nearby could result. Maximum recommended pressure is 3.2 psi (.22 bar).
As air is compressed it heats up and expands. Warm air occupies more volume than cool air. If the water is cold, warm
air in the boat will shrink and some rigidity will be lost. Allow a few minutes for the boat to cool off in the water, and if
needed, top it off with enough pump strokes to bring it back up to pressure. The boat could also appear to lose
pressure overnight if the nighttime temperature drops significantly below the daytime temperature.
The Stealth Stalker holds a lot of air! Inflating with the manual pump is hard work and takes approximately 15 minutes
with breaks to inflate the boat. The exercise from inflating the boat may be valuable, but often kayaking time is limited
and it is better to get out on the water as quickly as possible. An electric pump is recommended for achieving that
goal.
Caution
: Inflating the boat manually is physically demanding. Pace yourself. If you feel uncomfortable, stop and
rest, do not proceed if you are having a health issue.
Caution
:
BEFORE & DURING USE:
Whether the boat is in its bag or inflated, avoid damage; do not drag your Sea Eagle over
abrasive surfaces like asphalt parking lots, gravel or concrete boat ramps, . Carry or wheel your Sea Eagle from the car to the setup
point, and then into the water when assembled.
Rocks and sticks usually will not damage a Sea Eagle but be alert for partially hidden or submerged hazards like metal signs,
shopping carts and other debris especially during periods of low water. Be careful of docks which may have exposed nails or
screws.
FISH SPINES:
Many species of fish have sharp spines than can cause small punctures in the STS10. Do not allow fighting fish to
bump the boat. Use a net to pull fish out of water when possible.

Warning:
This product can expose you to chemicals including DEHP (Di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate), which is known to the state
of California to cause Cancer, Birth Defects or other reproductive harm. For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov
Invasive Species Control:
Introduction of non-native plants and animal is a serious problem that can irreversibly harm local
habitats. If your boat is to be used in multiple waterways, remove the floorboards, drain the boat, disinfect all items with a sanitizer
such as a mild bleach solution, or allow to air dry before launching in a new waterway. Check local requirements for decontamina-
tion. Procedures are sometimes posted near launch ramps and put-in points. Sea Eagle boats are constructed of chemical resistant
PVC, sanitizers will not damage the material. Steam cleaning is also acceptable.
