General Repair Information

Small repairs may be attempted by the owner if the repair
instructions are followed. Tears or holes larger than one inch, or
instances where the patch will overlap a seam, should be
repaired by professionals.
The repair kit which comes with the boat is a one‑part glue
operation and should be used for emergency minor repair.
Your inflatable boat is made from either PVC or CSM fabric
materials. Ensure that the correct glue and patching materials
are used when making repairs to the fabric.
IMPORTANT: Ensure that the correct glue and patching
materials are used when making repairs to the fabric. PVC
patching material and glue cannot be used on CSM fabrics, and
CSM patching material and glue cannot be used on PVC fabrics.
Air Chamber Repair—CSM Fabric
Avoid serious injury or death from a fire, explosion or
poisoning. The glues and solvents used for repairing inflatables
are toxic and highly flammable. As a safety precaution, always
work outdoors or in an area that is well‑ventilated, and away
from any open flames, sparks, or appliances equipped with
pilot lights. Breathing the vapors or exposure to the skin may
be hazardous to your health. Avoid breathing the vapors and
contact with skin and eyes by wearing a carbon filter respirator
and protective gear over all exposed areas of the body.
The repair kit that comes with the boat is a one‑part glue
operation and should be used for emergency minor repair. For a
permanent repair, a two‑part CSM glue should be used. This
two‑part CSM glue and patching materials are available from
Mercury Marine.
