Disassembly and Storage

First clean your boat thoroughly following the Care and Maintenance instructions. Open all air valves

and deflate boat completely. Remove all the accessories from the boat; seats, fishing rod holders,

oars, gear pouch and battery pouch.

Flip the boat over. Fold the left side of the boat over and then fold the right side over the left. Fold the

bow end twice to the middle of the boat tightly while forcing out any remaining air; repeat this

procedure for the stern. With two opposing folded sides, fold one end over the other like closing a

book. Your boat is ready for storage. Fold the boat loosely and avoid sharp bends, corners and

creases which can damage the boat.

Troubleshooting

If your boat appears a bit soft, it might not be because of a leak. If the boat was inflated late in the day

with 32 °C (90 °F) air, that air might cool down to 25 °C (77 °F) overnight. The cooler air exerts less

pressure on the hull, so it could appear soft the next morning.

If there has been no temperature variation, you need to start looking for a leak:

• Take a good look at your boat from just a few feet away. Flip it over and closely check over the

outside. Any large leaks should be clearly visible.

• If you have an idea where your leak is, use a mix of dishwashing liquid and water in a spray

bottle, and spray over the suspicious areas. Any leak will produce bubbles that will pinpoint the

location of the leak.

• Check valves for leak, if necessary, spray soapy water around the valve and the valve base.

Repairs

Through constant use you may occasionally puncture your boat. Most leaks only take a few minutes to

repair. Your boat comes with a repair patch, and additional repair supplies can be ordered from Intex

Consumer Service or from our website.

First locate the leak; soapy water will bubble out from the source of the leak. Thoroughly clean the

area surrounding the leak to remove any dirt or grime.

Cut a piece of repair patch large enough to overlap the damaged area by approximately 1.5 cm (1/2”).

Round off the edges, and place the patch on the damaged area and PRESS DOWN FIRMLY. You

may want to use a weight on top to keep it in place.

Do not inflate in 30 minutes after patching.

If the patch does not hold, you can purchase a PVC or silicon based glue for repairing camping mats,

tents or shoes from your local market to patch your boat, please refer to the instruction of the glue for

patching.
