TROUBLE SHOOTING |
Even though your Sea Eagle is very rugged and tough,
you may still experience the occasional puncture.
Fortunately most repairs are fairly easy and only take a
few minutes.
For an extensive repair please contact us directly for
assistance or a quote to have it sent back and repaired at
our facility. Repair fees start at $75.00 and do not include
return shipping charges.
For a demonstration of good patching technique, please
view our How to Repair video on the instruction page of
our web site. There is a link at the bottom of every page
at SeaEagle.com or type "instructions" into the search
box.
Leaks larger than a pinhole should be patched. The patch
should be as small as reasonably possible.
Repairs
Repair Kit
All Sea Eagles come with
a repair kit which includes
patching material and
PVC glue.
Pinholes
Defl ate your boat and
thoroughly clean and
dry the area that be
repaired. For small
punctures, less than
1/8", apply a small drop
of glue and allow 24
hours to dry.
Thoroughly clean and
dry the area
surrounding the leak.
Circle the leak to
make locating it easier
throughout the repair
process.
Use a pencil or ballpoint
pen to trace the outline
of the patch. Angle the
pen inward a bit so that
the ink will be covered
by the patch later.
Apply glue to the patch
and the area outlined on
the boat.
Place the patch on the
damaged area and press
down fi rmly. Let the
glue sit for 5-15 minutes
until it appears tacky. If
glue does not hold, heat
patch with a hair dryer
for about a minute and
re-seat the patch.
