If you are attempting to repair small rips or holes, or even adding small accessories to your inflatable boat; it is important to follow factory gluing instructions closely.

Rips or holes larger than one inch in the air chamber or within two inches of a seam should be repaired with internal and external patches by a professional repair technician at a certified repair facility. A quick patch repair may solve your problem for a short period of time, but we recommend you have it redone by a professional.

We recommend that major repairs and the addition of large accessories such as oar locks, seating or towing rings be done by a professional repair technician at a certified repair facility.

If your boat is still under warranty and you are experiencing a seam failure the wooden transom separating from the molded transom flanges or tubeset; or the fabric is turning yellow and sticky, call your dealer immediately. Defective seams or sticky fabric result in complete warranty coverage and you may receive a new boat for free or at a small prorated fee.
