Sea Eagle 124 smb Super Motormount Boat (124SMB) - Manual (Page 13)

Place the patch on the
damaged area and
press down firmly. Let
the glue sit for 2-4 min-
utes until it appears
tacky. If glue does not
hold, heat patch with a
hair dryer.
A temperature of ap-
proximately 160 de-
grees will activate the
adhesive and from there
you can press firmly on
the patch until cooled.
It is VERY IMPORTANT
that you DO NOT use a
hair dryer on an inflated
boat.
A temperature of 160° degrees will activate the adhesive
and from there you can press firmly on the patch until
cooled. DO NOT use a hair dryer on an inflated boat and
NEVER use a heat gun on your boat.
DO NOT USE D-Rings
Motormount Boats are
manufactured with a
completely different
type of (stretchable)
PVC material that can’t
accommodate the use
or application of gluing
on D-Rings.
2-Part Adhesive
The adhesive that
comes standard in your
repair kit works for most
repairs and installations,
but for more detailed
and extensive repair we
recommend a 2-part
PVC adhesive.
Methyl Ethlyl Ketone
Methyl Ethyl Ketone or
MEK is a solvent used
to dissolve PVC based
glue in case you need
to remove a D-Ring,
glue residue or patch.
MEK is a strong solvent
and can damage the
material to the boat so
use it very carefully and
sparingly.
MEK is very flammable,
keep away from fire, lit
cigarettes or sparks.
When handling MEK we
recommend wearing
rubber gloves. Be sure
to use MEK in a well
ventilated area and
heed all warnings from
the manufacturer.
To remove a patch with
MEK, dip a cotton swab and apply it to the outer edges.
The glue will start to dissolve and the patch will begin to
separate from the boat. Continue to carefully apply MEK to
the underneath of the patch and continue peeling it off.
Once removed you can also clean off any residual glue with
the MEK solvent.
To apply a new patch, allow approximately 30 seconds for
the MEK to evaporate and apply the item to the boat.
