  1. (0:00~0:06) Here is a short tutorial on how to repair an inflatable boat.
  2. (0.10) Modern inflatable (boats) are very durable so seldom need repair. But should you need to make a repair, it is fast and easy.
  3. (0.24) First, I need to make a hole.
  4. (0.26) If you need to find the leak, put soapy water and look for bubbles and listen for air escaping.
  5. (0.38) Once you’ve found your leak, dry the area and mark the spot with a pencil.
  6. (0.47) Then deflate the boat entirely (completely).
  7. (1.00) For small holes, trace the outline of a coin on the patch material. (The patch material is in your repair kit) and cut out the patch with a pair of scissors.
  8. (1.04) For a super clean patch, cut out the same size hole on a piece of masking tape and place the tape over the hole.
  9. (1.18) Place a uniform layer of glue on the patch and on the boat in the area of the leak. Then remove the tape.
  10. (1.32) For best results, heat the glue up with a hair dryer and place the patch over the affected area and press it down to remove any air pockets.
  11. (1.55) After waiting 24 hours for the glue to cure, re-inflate the boat.

The Portable World of Sea Eagle Inflatables

A key benefit of our boats is the fact that they pack to a fraction of their inflated length, and can be carried or shipped almost anywhere in the world. This makes them lighter and easier to carry than most other boats. They pack easily in all sorts of convenient places, like the corner of a garage, a closet, or a car trunk. They can be taken to out-of-the-way places and deployed in minutes. With the advent of powerful foot and piston pumps as well as faster electric pumps, setting up our Sea Eagle Boats is faster and easier than ever before.
