Remove the seat, oars, and any equipment. 3.Fold the deflated sides inward until the lifting handles or oar locks meet in the middle. 4.Fold the boat transom inward and then fold in the two rear cones inward over the transom 18181 5.Starting at the transom end, roll up the boat from the transom towards the bow 18168 3/ REPAIR6 General Information Small repairs may be attempted by the owner if the repair instructions are followed. Tears or holes larger than one inch, or instances where the patch will overlap a seam, should be repaired by professionalsThe repair kit which comes with the boat is a one part glue operation and should be used for emergency minor repairYour inflatable boat is made from either PVC or Hypalon fabric materials. Ensure the correct glue and patching materials are used when making repairs to the fabricIMPORTANT: Ensure the correct glue and patching materials are used when making repairs to the fabric. PVC patching material and glue cannot be used on Hypalon fabrics, and Hypalon patching material and glue cannot be used on PVC fabrics Air Floor Repair The air floor on all models is constructed from PVC fabric. Small tears and punctures in the floor can be repaired using PVC patching material, and following the PVC fabric patching procedure. Refer to Air Chamber Repair - PVC Fabric. Air Chamber Repair . Hypalon Fabric ! WARNING Avoid serious injury or death from a fire, explosion or poisoningThe glues and solvents used for repairing inflatables are toxic and highly flammable. As a safety precaution, always work outdoors or in an area that is well.ventilated, and away from any open flames, sparks, or appliances equipped with pilot lights. Breathing the vapors or exposure to the skin may be hazardous to your health. Avoid breathing the vapors and contact with skin and eyes by wearing a carbon filter respirator and protective gear over all exposed areas of the body 30 REPAIR6 The repair kit which comes with the boat is a one part glue operation and should be used for emergency minor repair. For a permanent repair, a two part Hypalon glue should be used. This two part Hypalon glue and patching materials are available from Mercury Marine Small tears and punctures in the air chambers which are 1 cm (0.393 in.) or less, can be repaired in an emergency. Larger areas, or if the patch will overlap a seam, should be patched by a professional repair technician at an inflatable repair station. Contact your local Mercury dealer for the nearest inflatable repair station For the best results when gluing, the relative humidity should be less than 60%, ambient air temperature should be between 18 °C to 25 °C (65 °F to 77 °F) and not in direct sunlight. Cut out a patch large enough to overlap the damaged area by a minimum of 38 mm (1.5 in.) from all sides. Center the patch over the damaged area and with a pencil trace the outline of the patchApply masking tape around the perimeter of the outlined patch area to ensure a tight and clean glue line Using 100 grit sandpaper or a pumice stone, roughen the patch area on the boat as well as the backside of the patch. When sanding, you just need to rub off the protective outer surface of the fabric until a dull finish appears. Clean the sanded surfaces with either toluene or tolual cleaning solvents. Keep solvent off skinONE PART GLUE (EMERGENCY REPAIRS ONLY) Follow the directions on the cement tube TWO PART ADHESIVE Mix a batch of adhesive according to the mixing directions provided with the adhesive. Keep adhesive off skin. When the adhesive is fully mixed, it must sit for a short time to activate the catalystFailure to do so will create poor fabric adhesion 31 REPAIR6 Apply two thin layers of adhesive using a short bristle brush, in a circular pattern on both the backside of the patch and the patch area on the boat.Allow the first layer to dry completely (approximately 15 minutes) before applying the second layer. The second layer should dry until tacky, then apply the patch to the prepared area and press dow...
