REPAIRS

Apply two thin layers of adhesive using a short bristle brush, in a

circular pattern on both the backside of the patch and the patch

area on the boat. Allow the first layer to dry completely

(approximately 15 minutes) before applying the second layer. The

second layer should dry until tacky, then apply the patch to the

prepared area and press down firmly. Using a smooth object (the

back of a tablespoon works well), force out any air bubbles that

may have been trapped under the patch, working from the center

of the patch to the outside.
After removing the masking tape, use solvent to clean up any

excess glue, then place a 4 ‑ 5 pound weight onto the patch and

allow 24 hours drying time before pressurizing the repaired air

chamber.

Air Chamber Repair ‑ PVC Fabric

WARNING

Avoid serious injury or death from a fire, explosion or poisoning.

The glues and solvents used for repairing inflatables are toxic

and highly flammable. As a safety precaution, always work

outdoors or in an area that is well‑ventilated, and away from any

open flames, sparks, or appliances equipped with pilot lights.

Breathing the vapors or exposure to the skin may be hazardous

to your health. Avoid breathing the vapors and contact with skin

and eyes by wearing a carbon filter respirator and protective gear

over all exposed areas of the body.

The repair kit which comes with the boat is a one part glue

operation and should be used for emergency minor repair. For a

permanent repair, a two part adhesive for PVC fabric should be

used. This two part adhesive and patching materials for PVC fabric

are available from Mercury Marine.
Small tears and punctures in the air chambers which are

1 cm (0.393 in.) or less, can be repaired in an emergency. Larger

areas, or if the patch will overlap a seam, should be patched by a

professional repair technician at an inflatable repair station.

Contact your local Mercury dealer for the nearest inflatable repair

station.
