Place the patch on the
damaged area and
press down firmly. Let
the glue sit for 2-4 min-
utes until it appears
tacky. If glue does not
hold, heat patch with a
hair dryer.
A temperature of 160°
degrees will activate the
adhesive and from there
you can press firmly on
the patch until cooled.
DO NOT use a hair
dryer on an inflated boat
and NEVER use a heat
gun on your boat.
2-Part Adhesive
The adhesive that
comes standard in your
repair kit works for most
repairs and installations,
but for more detailed
and extensive repair we
recommend a 2-part
PVC adhesive.
Methyl Ethlyl Ketone
Methyl Ethyl Ketone or
MEK is a solvent used
to dissolve PVC based
glue in case you need
to remove a D-Ring,
glue residue or patch.
MEK is a strong solvent
and can damage the
material to the boat so
use it very carefully and
sparingly.
MEK is very flammable,
keep away from fire, lit
cigarettes or sparks.
When handling MEK we
recommend wearing
rubber gloves. Be sure
to use MEK in a well
ventilated area and
heed all warnings from
the manufacturer.
To remove a patch with MEK, dip a cotton swab and apply
it to the outer edges. The glue will start to dissolve and the
patch will begin to separate from the boat. Continue to
carefully apply MEK to the underneath of the patch and
continue peeling it off. Once removed you can also clean
off any residual glue with the MEK solvent. To reapply a
new patch, allow approximately 30 seconds for the MEK to
evaporate and apply the item to the boat.
Glue-On Pad Mount
(OPTIONAL)
This pad is made of a
flexible PVC and works
great for customizing
your Sea Eagle so that
you can install either a
Scotty Bait Caster or
Power Lock Rod Holder.
See the repairs section
of this manual for instal-
lation instructions.
Before you begin, take the provided stainless steel fasten-
ers and use them to mount and tighten the side mount to
the glue-on pad.
Position the glue-on pad in the desired location of your Sea
Eagle Boat and mark off the area surrounding the glue-on
pad with a pencil.
Next, use a brush (not included) to evenly apply the glue to
both the glue-on pad and the area that you marked off with
your pencil.
TIP: Using a hair dryer (10 seconds should be fine), heat
up the glue on both the glue-on pad and your Sea Eagle.
Mate the two sides, pressing out any air pockets or bubbles
along the way. Allow 24 hours for the glue to dry and then
the bonding process is complete and the mount is ready for
