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 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.

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 reapply a

new patch, allow approximately 30 seconds for the MEK to

evaporate and apply the item to the boat.

Glue-On Pad Mount

(OPTIONAL)

This pad is made of a

flexible PVC and works

great for customizing

your Sea Eagle so that

you can install either a

Scotty Bait Caster or

Power Lock Rod Holder.

See the repairs section

of this manual for instal-

lation instructions.

Before you begin, take the provided stainless steel fasten-

ers and use them to mount and tighten the side mount to

the glue-on pad.

Position the glue-on pad in the desired location of your Sea

Eagle Boat and mark off the area surrounding the glue-on

pad with a pencil.

Next, use a brush (not included) to evenly apply the glue to

both the glue-on pad and the area that you marked off with

your pencil.

TIP: Using a hair dryer (10 seconds should be fine), heat

up the glue on both the glue-on pad and your Sea Eagle.

Mate the two sides, pressing out any air pockets or bubbles

along the way. Allow 24 hours for the glue to dry and then

the bonding process is complete and the mount is ready for
