FOLDING & STORAGE
1. Place your inflatable boat on a clean flat surface, then deflate the buoyancy chambers.
2. Remove oars or paddles and removable rowing seat.
3. Fold the aft cones toward the transom.
4. Fold the buoyancy compartments inwards, i.e. towards the center of the boat.
5. Close the caps over the valves in order to avoid any damage to the hull material.
6. Fold the boat around the transom from the back.
7. Fold the bow section on top of the previously folded rear part of the boat.
Place the boat inside your Silver Marine® carry bag or protective covering. When storing your inflatable
boat, ensure protection against rodents and other vermin, as they feed on the fabric of the boat.
3. Apply adhesive to the underneath side of patch and around the area to be repaired. Coat the affected
area lightly but completely with glue. Let the glue sit for 2-4 minutes until it appears tacky.
4. Place the patch on the damaged area and press down firmly. Allow 12 hours for repair to dry. After
patch has dried, apply glue around the edges for a complete seal (dry for 4 hours).
2. Cut a piece of repair material large enough to
overlap the damaged area by approximately 1/2
inch. Use a pencil to trace the outline of the patch.
1. Thoroughly clean the area surrounding the leak
to remove any dirt or grime.
