Repair Kit

All Sea Eagles come

standard with a repair

kit which includes PVC

patches and PVC glue.

Repair kits also include

a recessed valve

adapter and a valve

wrench.

PVC Based Glue

To patch your Sea

Eagle, use an adhesive

for PVC boats.

Plumber’s cement,

epoxy and Gorilla Glue

will not work. If you are

out of glue, try a Swim-

ming Pool supply store.

Pinholes

Deflate your 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.

For immediate use

allow 30 minutes to dry

and then inflate the

compartment with the

repair only 3/4 full and

if necessary make a

more permanent repair

later.

Patching

The most common re-

pairs are a puncture or

small cut. A penny size

patch is sufficient for re-

pairs of this type.

Trace the outline of a

penny on the patch ma-

terial and cut using

scissors. Trace the out-

line of the penny on the

boat. Coat the patch

and boat with the repair

kit glue.

Wait about 5 minutes or

until the surface of the

glue hazes over then

apply the patch. Do not

apply wet glue to wet

glue.

If you have access to

electricity, heat the glue

with a hair dryer then

apply the patch. This

method produces the

best results. Mate the

patch to the boat and

smooth down until the

patch adheres. Do not

inflate, allow at least 24

hours to cure before in-

flating.
