Introduction
Thank you for deciding to buy one of our Sea Eagle Motormount
Fishing Boats. We think that you should get many years of use and
pleasure out of this boat. We have been selling inflatable boats for
over 30 years, and your boat is the beneficiary of this experience. It
is rugged, safe and secure, and will serve you well.
Packing list
If you have ordered your boat directly from SeaEagle.com, your pack-
ing list will be included with your order. Please verify everything is
correct and contact us right away at 1-800-852-0925 if you have any
questions. Our office is open 9-5 Monday- Friday, EST.
If you have ordered from one of our dealers or resellers, please call
them if there are any items missing from your order.
Registration
If you intend to use your Sea Eagle with a motor, you will be required
to register it in most states. The Department of Motor Vehicles in your
state will need the Manufacturer’s Statement of Origin, which is
included with your boat. In some states a Bill of Sale is also required,
and it is included for orders shipped to those states. If you need
another copy of your MSO or Bill of Sale, just call us with your hull ID
number. (This is on the starboard side of the boat near the chamber
3 valve, and begins with “LES” )
Your State Dept. of Motor Vehicles will assign a registration number
that must be displayed near the bow of your boat. Your registration
numbers must be affixed to your hull to be legal. You can apply adhe-
sive numbers to a small piece of wood or plastic for a neat look.
Warranty Card
Please fill out and mail in the yellow colored Warranty Registration
Card supplied in your order right away. You will void your warranty
by not mailing it to us. Be sure to enter the Hull Identification
Number.
Valves
Pipe Valve: Sea Eagle pipe
valves are simple, reliable and
compact. Insert the cone
shaped nozzle on your pump to
inflate.
To close, tightly pinch the pipe
section of the valve with your
forefinger and thumb while you
remove the pump nozzle from
the valve. Squeeze tightly, and
hold the valve at the very bot-
tom to prevent the air from
seeping out while you plug the
valve.
Once the valve is plugged it can
be pushed down into the floor
and out of the way. Getting this
right might take a few attempts,
but it becomes second nature
quickly.
Deluxe One-Way Valve:
Used on the three larger cham-
bers, this one-way valve makes
inflation easier. The outer cap of
the one-way valves makes the
permanent seal, and must be
fastened firmly. Be sure the
threads are not crossed when
tightening the cap or screwing
the valve base. Also check to
make sure there is no sand or
dirt that could break the seal.
To inflate your boat, simply
place the large round nozzle
into the valve. (See Inflation
section for details)
To deflate, unscrew the inner
valve and remove. Most of the
air will rush out in a minute or
two, and any remaining air will
be forced out when the boat is
rolled up for storage.
