Cut patch along the outline
with scissors.
Pro Tip: Trace the outline
of the penny on masking
tape and cut with a utility
knife. Apply tape to the
boat instead of tracing on
the boat.
Apply glue to the patch
and boat. Allow to dry 15
minutes. Glue must be dry
to the touch. If glue layer
is thin, apply second coat,
allow to dry 15 minutes.
Apply patch to the boat.
Smooth with finger or a
smoothing tool such as a
spoon, handle of a utility
knife, or screwdriver. For
best results, heat patch
with a hair dryer 10-20
seconds and smooth with
tool.
Patching Tips:
• The chamber must be deflated or the air will force a path
through the glue.
• Keep the patch size to a minimum, the bigger the patch,
the harder it is to seal. The most common repair failures
occur because the patch is too big.
• For repairs larger than a puncture, overlap the damage area
by about ½" on each side.
• Do not apply the patch while the glue is wet.
• Covering a leaking patch with another patch rarely fixes the
problem. To remove a patch, heat it with a hair dryer and
peel it off.
• For field repairs, allow at least an hour to cure. Other
repairs, allow to cure overnight.
• Patches can be removed by heating with a hairdryer.
• Never use a heat gun on your boat.
• Clamps and weights are not needed.
For a demonstration of good patching technique, please view
the 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.
Floor Drains
If you suspect the drains are leaking, prop the front of the boat
up and fill it with enough water to cover the drains. If water is
leaking:
• Clear any sand in the threads
• Heat drain bases with a hair dryer (30 seconds).
Bases can become misshapen when boat is tightly folded for
long periods. Heating will return base to its original shape.
Replace cap when done.
Caution: Do not allow hot hairdryer element to touch
base. Hot element will melt base.
