    That's a lot of expansion! Wow. I'm from Ireland and grown up around RIBs but live in cold Alberta now amd hoping to buy a 5M zodiac RIB. I'm worried about these -40°C days and what it will do to the pontoons. Is it essential to store indoors during very cold weather? Would the cold crack the pvc/glue? Can't find much on the internet and they're not too popular over this side if the world and we don't get Temps like this back home so nobody there can really tell me.

    • @gashopperinc
      @gashopperinc Месяц назад

      Shouldn't have any issues with a RIB boat. Best to have them covered so the UV doesn't damage the skin. Cold won't crack the PVC unless it's really old or un-cared for skin. If you can store indoors, that's great. But we store lots outside around our shop and customers never have problems in the Spring. Just have to top up the chambers in the Spring cause air will partially leak out with the valve Seals shrinking during the cold.

    • @gashopperinc
      @gashopperinc Месяц назад

      As long as your trailer is set up properly for your boat, you shouldn't have a problem. Make sure trailer bunks run along the main tube and floor joints. I will also sometime let the air out of the keel to make sure the front floor boards don't get wonky when the air start to expand again. All depends on the boat.

      Depends on the material, but for PVC Zodiac Z7096, Hypalon/CSM Z7098. We also use Stabond UK-148 or Weaver glue if Zodiac glue isn't available.

    Trying to help my son in law get the rear seat system to work for the grandkids. Screens work but the DVD player has an issue. I have copied DVDs to a media player that plugs into the entertainment system with RCA jacks. However, it will not play in the back (plays in front!) as the AUX selection is required on the entertainment system and the AUX selection does not seem to work as the DVD player is malfunctioning. Does anyone have any ideas? It’s a 2016 Buick SUV. Thanks.

    I don't know how you can glue the inner patch, and the inner part of the tear, without excess glue sticking the insides together of the boat/tube or whatever it may be. You can't get your hand in there to keep it separated... it seems like just form it like a pyramid and hope for the best.

    Great simple video, I used to have a milpro 4.7m and had plenty of patches back in Australia but never did the inside patch, I live on a tiny island Anajawan Island now and just got given a small PVC rib which has about 40 patches over the one spot hahahaha and am just now removing them so I can redo apparently a large cut so doing the inside patch will be very valuable. I have only been using hypalon glues before and know the techniques are the same but would like to know a good pvc glue if you have time. Like someone from Fiji offered if you're ever in our part of the woods drop in! All free, food, beer and accommodation. Would appreciate some info on a great glue.

    hello my friend they gave me a zodiac 2245 from 1978. no air is lost but only the keel. do you think the boat is alive? do the glues hold up? I think it's hypalon. it's the same as the one you made in 79

    • @gashopperinc
      @gashopperinc 3 месяца назад

      If it's just the keel, repair it and boat should be good. Older boats are prone to glue failure due to their age. Nothing a repair and glue can't fix. But if it's structural, then chances are they will be other major failures to follow
