Step #4. SOAPY WATER TEST
You'll need a bucket and liquid dish washing soap. Fill the
bucket with clear water, and add a good squirt of soap (couple
of tablespoons) to the water. Inflate the leaking chamber to full
pressure. Spread lots of soapy water on the leaking chamber
with a hand towel or large sponge. Don't assume the leak is
coming from the valve or seams. The leak may produce
bubbles, make hissing or sputtering noises, or spray water.
Spray bottles are not effective at locating many leaks.

Even though Sea Eagles are very rugged and tough, you may
still experience the occasional puncture. Fortunately most
repairs are fairly easy and only take a few minutes. For
extensive repairs, please contact us directly to provide you
with further assistance. The best way to do this is to e-mail us a
digital photo of the area in question along with your hull
identification number to staff@seaeagle.com.

PVC Based Glue
To patch your Sea Eagle,
use an adhesive for PVC
boats.
Plumber's cement, epoxy,
Flex Seal, water-poofing
sprays and Gorilla Glue do
not work.
Pinholes
Deflate the boat and
thoroughly clean and dry
the area that is to be
repaired.
For small punctures less
than 1/8" apply a small
drop of glue and allow 24
hours to cure.
Patching
The most common repairs
are a puncture or small cut.
A penny size patch is
sufficient for repairs of this
type.
Trace the outline of a
penny on the patch
material and on the boat.
If a larger patch is needed,
use a larger item as a
template.
