A Sea Eagle is capable of carrying an incredible amount of gear, making it very practical to get to a truly secluded campsite. You can car-top your boat or carry it deflated in a car trunk. When you finally get to the campsite of your choice, you can motor for hours around nearby lakes, bays or bayous, etc. And, if it hap pens to be a large lake or bay you'll appreciate your Sea Eagle's ability to get to difficult places. River Running: With a Sea Eagle Fishing Boat you can safely run up to class III white water (based on a 1-6 scale). However, before doing so, you should read some books on the basics of white water rafting. In particular, you must become aware of the danger posed by up and downstream eddies, drops, falls, rocks, trees, branches, shredded aluminum canoes, broken glass and other obstacles that you may come across. It is also important to read up and know the danger posed by any river you choose to run. With a basic understanding of white water rafting and the river you are going on, you can participate in one of the most exciting water sports in your Sea Eagle. One last note of caution, please remember to wear life jackets! Disassembly and deflation If you are planning on storing your boat for a long period, you should wipe it down with a towel to remove any moisture to prevent any mildew forming on your boat. First remove the knurled nuts and the curved brackets from your motormount and store the motormount block and all hardware. Unscrew the deluxe one way valves on chambers 1, 2, & 3, and then remove the motormount by depressing the push buttons at the bottom of the tube. Pull the motormount tubes out of the lower grommet, and then the top two grommets. Rotating the tube from left to right helps with removing the motormount from the top tubes. Remove the side struts from the floorboards, and then lift the boards out of the hull. After all the valves are opened, allow the boat to deflate for a minute or two. Flip the boat over. Fold the left side of the boat over. Fold the right side over the left. 6 Starting from the bow, roll toward the stern of the boat tightly to force out any remaining air. When you are done your boat will be compact and ready for storage. Care and Maintenance There is very little that you have to do to keep your boat in almost new condition for many years. You may store it inflated or deflated. If you leave it outside, you should raise it up off the ground and cover it with a tarp if it is going to be in direct sunlight or exposed to leaves, berries or rain. If you leave it in the water, you will probably have to empty out the water every time it rains (this will also harm the wooden floorboards over time). We do not recommend using your boat below 30 degrees fahrenheit. PVC material can become brittle in extremely cold temperatures. This will not harm a boat stored in cold conditions as long as it is not dropped or subjected to a sudden impact in the extreme cold. If you store it in a closet, basement or garage, we recommend picking a cool, dry spot, making sure the boat is clean and dry before you pack it up - otherwise mold can accumulate while it is stored. Periodic use of 303 Protectorant, available in the Accessories section of SeaEagle.com, will improve the UV resistance of the PolyKrylar hull material of your Sea Eagle. For stain removal, we reccommend the use of 3M Vinly Cleaner and Restorer, also available at SeaEagle.com to remove the toughest stains. Troubleshooting Leakage of air: If your boat appears a bit soft, it might not be because of a leak. If the boat was inflated late in the day with 90 degree air, that air might cool 20 degrees overnight. The cooler air exerts less pressure on the hull, so it could appear soft the next morning. If there has been no temperature variation, you need to start looking for a leak. Below are the three best methods 1) Visual inspection. Get a good look at your boat from just a few feet away. Flip it over and closely check over the outside. Any large leaks should be clearly visible. 2) Listening. If you have a rough idea where your leak is, you can sometimes hear it in a quiet room. 3) Soapy water. Use a mix of dishwashing liquid and water in a spray bottle, and spray over suspicious areas. Any leak will produce bubbles that will pinpoint the location of the leak. Check your valves: Look, listen, and if necessary, spray soapy water around your valve and the valve base. Leaky valves have several causes: 1) Crossed threads. Make sure that both the inner valve and the outer cap are firmly screwed together. If threads are crossed on either item a slow leak could result. A good way to avoid this is to first turn the outer cap back 1/4 turn. 2) Sand in Diaphragm, threads, or O-ring. Check the black diaphragm at the bottom of the inner valve for sand between the diaphragm and the inner valve. Also check the threads on the inner valve, boat hull, and outer cap for any dirt or sand which might break the seal. Check the O-ring on...
