MAINTENANCE 

 
4. REPAIR OF SMALL PUNCTURES 
 

NOTE: 

 

Your boat comes with a repair kit, which must be on board. 
Repairs  carried  out  on  board  are  problematic.  Follow  the  instructions  below 
whenever possible and as far as possible. Carry out the repair as soon as the 
boat is back on shore or have it carried out by your dealer.

 

 

REPAIR KIT 

 

 

To clean: 

- light cleaning solvent (ethyl acetate) (not supplied) 

To repair:  

- pieces of fabric. 
- tube of special adhesive (the adhesive can be stored if you recap the tube 
immediately after use). 
- brush - smoother (not supplied). 
- Instruction sheet.

 

 

 

CONDITIONS FOR 
OPTIMUM REPAIR 

QUALITY 

 

 

- temperate relative humidity: < 60%. 
- temperature between 18 and 25°C. 
- repair out of sunshine under dry conditions. 
- buoyancy tube flat or deflated.

 

 

 

PREPARATION 

 

 

- locate leaks (with soapy water if the leak is not visible to the eye). 
-  cut  a  round  patch  overlapping  the  tear  in  the  buoyancy  tube  by  at  least 
5 cm or use a suitable patch from the repair kit.  
- mark the location of the patch on the buoyancy tube. 
- clean the patch and the area around the tear with solvent.  
- allow to dry for 5 minutes.

 

 

 

CEMENTING 

 

 

- apply 3 thin layers of adhesive to both the buoyancy tube and the patch, 
letting the adhesive dry for 3 to 5 minutes between each layer (the adhesive 
should no longer adhere to the finger but should not be too dry).

 

 

 

FITTING THE PATCH 

 

 

- once the final layer has dried, position the patch without pressing on it so 
as to allow it to be re-positioned if necessary. 
- press from the centre outwards to flatten any air bubbles. 
-  smooth  the  patch  firmly  using  a  blunt  object,  starting  from  the  centre  of 
the patch. 
- remove any excess adhesive using solvent.

 

 

 

BEFORE REUSING THE 

BOAT 

 

 

- if possible, avoid exposing the repair to sunshine or rain. 
- allow to dry for 24 hours before re-inflating.

 

 

 

 

 

WARNING

 

 

 

Do  not  leave  the  tube  of  adhesive  directly  in  the  sun  or  near  a  flame  or 
heat source. 
Always  work  in  a  ventilated  area,  avoid  ingesting  adhesive  or breathing 
in adhesive vapours, and avoid contact with the skin.  

 
5. SEMI-RIGID BOATS: REPAIRING SCRATCHES ON THE HULL 

 

 Small scratches can be reduced or removed using polishing paste and polishing wadding. 

 Deeper scratches can be repaired using polyester putty. In this case, refer to your Zodiac Milpro 

distributor for advice. 
 

NOTE: 

FOR  MAJOR  REPAIR  OF  THE  BUOYANCY  TUBE  OR  HULL,  REFER  TO 
YOUR  DEALER  WHO  HAS  THE  PRODUCTS,  TOOLS  AND  EXPERIENCE 
NEEDED TO CARRY OUT HIGH QUALITY REPAIRS.
