TROUBLESHOOTING

TROUBLESHOOTING

ATTENTION: If your Sea Eagle is losing air, this does not

necessarily mean that you have a hole.

For instance, a boat that is inflated late in the day with 90°

air may cool 20° overnight. The cooler air will exert less

pressure on the hull and the boat will appear softer the next

morning.

When there has been no variation in temperature and your

boat is losing air then it is time to start looking for the leak.

Step #1. LOOK

Visually inspect the boat from a few feet away and if neces-

sary, flip it over and closely check the outside. Any large

leaks when your boat looses a considerable amount of air

should be clearly visible.

Step #2. TIGHTEN

Be sure to check the tightness of the one-way recessed

valves as well and if necessary, tighten them with the valve

wrench included in the repair kit canister.

Step #3. LISTEN

If you have a rough idea of where your leak is but can’t see

it, you may want to try listening for it as you may be able to

hear the air escaping and pinpoint the leak.

Step #4. Soap & Water

Inflate the boat to full pressure. Mix a couple of table-

spoons of dishwashing liquid in a bucket of water. Spread

the soapy water on the leaking chamber with a large

sponge or hand towel. The leak may produce bubbles or

make whistling or sputtering noises. Often, spray bottles

don’t work.

Even though our Sea Eagles are very rugged and tough,

you may still experience the occasional puncture through

use of your boat. 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 [email protected].

You can also call us directly at 1-800-748-8066 ex. 314 and

ask to speak with Technical Support for further assistance

or a quote for having your boat mailed to our facilities for

our professional repair services.

Sea Eagle Repair fees start at $75.00 and do not include

return shipping charges. Please note that Sea Eagle does

not service any other brand other than our own. All items

sent to our repair facilities must have prior authorization in

the form of a Return Authorization Number.
