Sea Eagle 124 smb Super Motormount Boat (124SMB) - Manual (Page 11)

Rotating the tube from
left to right will help with
removing the motor
mount from the top
tubes. Remove both the
floorboards and motor
mount before you roll up
your boat.Starting from
the bow, roll toward the
stern of the boat tightly
to force out any remain-
ing air.
When you are done
your boat will be ready
for storage. Note: Carry
Bag sold separately
Troubleshooting
If your boat is losing air it doesn’t necessarily mean that
its leaking. For instance a boat that is inflated late in the
day with 90° air may cool 20° overnight. The cooler air will
exert less pressure on the hull and the boat will appear
softer the next morning. When there has been no variation
in temperature and your boat is losing air then it is time to
start looking for the leak.
The first thing you should do when looking for a leak is to
actually look at the boat. Visually inspect the boat from a
few feet away and if necessary, flip it over and closely
check the outside. Any large leaks when your boat looses a
considerable amount of air should be clearly visible.
Be sure to check the tightness of the one-way recessed
valves as well and if necessary, tighten them with the valve
wrench included in the orange repair kit canister.
If you have a rough idea of where your leak is but can’t see
it, you may want to try listening for it as you may be able to
hear the air escaping and pinpoint the leak.
Other troubleshooting techniques you can try to locate the
leak is to dowse/spray a mix of dishwashing liquid over
suspicious areas. The leak may produce bubbles that will
pinpoint the location of the leak.
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.
Denting
Check the O-Ring base
for dents. Denting can
occur when the valve
body lies across the
O-Ring during storage.
Heat the O-Ring with a
hairdryer for about a
minute or so until the
dent eases itself out.
Diaphragm Check
Check the black di-
aphragm at the bottom
of the inner valve for
grains between the di-
aphragm 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.
