Great video man, really appreciate the info. I had a rough idea of what I was doing but you confirmed a few things I was doing wrong. Appreciated.
The pleasure is all ours. Thank you so much for watching!
Great video Gerry! Thanks for all your help with my boat! I hope to fix my boat soon!
Straight and to the point, I appreciate it.
Thank you so much!
100% perfect and using hair dryer is perfect that works incredible
Thank you so much for watching!
Rather simple, really. Much easier that I had expected. Hope I never need it; but good information to know, if I do.
Glad it was helpful!
Don't you think that the most important information on your video. ... would be to tell the audience what glue you used and where to get it from? ???????????
that is the reason why I opened your video
www.seaeagle.com/Accessories/care-preservation?keycode=YT
He just wants you to buy his products 😂
@@Sandkingz Well, yeah, that is kinda the point. Still helpful
@@SeaEagleBoats For me, I got glue and application thingumy with the patch material all in one. So it's fine for me.
Use 3m4200. Nothing is better. 15yrs fixing and idiots are still hacking bs glues. Nothing is stronger than 3m4200. Youve ben warned
Super helpful!!!!

Thank you, very helpfull even 10 years later. I love the internet
Absolutely our pleasure. Thanks for watching! We hope you subscribed to the Sea Eagle Boats RUclips Channel for more informative videos to come!
Finally I found a straight to the point, no nonsense video that makes sense. which glue is recommended? I'm hearing that E6000 or Loctite Vinyl, Fabric and Plastic flex glue will work.
Thank you for your valued feedback and for watching! While both types of glue appear to be compatible. We can't say we have much experience or history with either. This glue ► sea.gl/REPAIRGLUE1OZ-YT, however, has definitely proved itself over the years and because of the knowledge and history we have with it, we are also able to provide technical assistance should any issue arise. Thanks again for watching. We hope you subscribed to the Sea Eagle Boats RUclips Channel for more informative videos to come!
SeaEagle seems good quality. My Brand New INTEX Seahawk 3 got 3 punctures from just dragging it in the grass with small bushes.Might have to check this SeaEagle kayak out.
That's very common for an Intex boat, or other brands with thin vinyl. They are an awesome way to get into the water cheaply, but you have to be ultra careful when handling them on land or around rocks. I commonly lower my sea eagle boats down the sides of cliffs with ropes, and have never had a single hole appear.
(I am using the higher end boats though)
Thank you for watching and your interest in Sea Eagle products. We have been in business, family owned and operated since 1968, and always aim to used the most durable material and manufacturing practices. This video will blow your mind! ruclips.net/video/ardGNdwZ0aQ/видео.html
@@SeaEagleBoats Haha yeah it won't, because it's the whole reason I started buying from your brand. I now have a pretty large group of my friends in Sea Eagle boats because of that exact video. I reference that video often, and it's the reason they have all bought from your brand. I'm sure I'll convince more people over the next few years in the exact same way.
Alex,
You can purchase repair kits for Sea Eagle boats at the link above. The GT-15 hasn't been in production for many years, but you can use the repair kit for the SE-6, SE-8 & SE-9 which has comparable material.
Thanks!
You're very welcome! Thank you for watching!
We've had a lot of success with the method shown I suggest you follow those instructions. Chemical cleaning is not required for all apps. Several layers are good for items like skegs, but not always needed. How fast the glue dries is dependent on temperature. The hotter it is the faster it tacks up so be ready to mate the patch to the boat when tacky. I think humidity is irrelevant and glue will adhere to itself even under water. One should not sand PVC fabric. Call SE we'll discuss, Jerry
Thank you Jerry
Excellent. Will try with my Amazon repair kit in a mo. Thanks for the vid. He's got eyebrows like Alistair Darling, the Labour Chancellor of the Exchequer in the late noughties, and his first tee-shirt is the same as the one I'm wearing now. Spooky.
That's awesome 😊, thanks for watching!
I love my sea eagle rides with me all over USA
And we love you!
hi all! is it safe to repair(and use afterwards) a hole that is next to a seam?
Hi Al, if you'll contact Jerry@SeaEagle.com or call 1-800-748-8066 and ask for Jerry Allen of technical support. He'll be able to guide you. Please have detailed photos of the hole before any repair.
Life saving

We tried, that didn't work. Hook Test ► ruclips.net/video/NJabr8daC6Q/видео.html,

Hi, is it possible to fix a two inch hole that goes completely through the kayak. A mouse got in the basement, ate a hole in the corner of my inflatable kayak right through to the other side. He got the worse possible spot. Right in the corner so he basically created a hole and connected the air supply that was separated from the sides of the boat to the floor. Is this a lost project?
Hi Rick, we can better advise you if you take clear photos of the issue and email them and your question to our tech support supervisor Jerry Allen and Jerry@SeaEagle.com
Nice, but what is the patch material and where does one buy it?
Hello @livingtinyinsouthernafrica935, the material must be PVC compatible. This link should help you find what you're looking for ► sea.gl/CAREPRESERVATION-YT. Thanks for watching. We hope you'll consider subscribing to Sea Eagle Boats RUclips Channel for more informative videos to come!
This is all very well, but I have a small leak near a seam and sticking a patch on - no matter how carefully - hasn't fixed it. Please tell me how!!!
Unfortunately, this is the reason most seam leaks are non-repairable. Thanks for watching! We hope you've subscribed to the Sea Eagle RUclips Channel for more videos!
The floor seam to the outer covering on my PF7 is seperating...is this covered under warranty? Is there a fix ?
All Sea Eagles are covered by a 3-Year Warranty that begins at the time of purchase. Email Staff@SeaEagle.com your issue, photos, and your hull ID number that begins with LES.
What material is the patch and what kind of glue is this?
Thanks in advance
Thanks for watching! We hope you've subscribed to the Sea Eagle RUclips Channel for more videos! The material is PVC and the glue is a single-part adhesive PVC compatible. Here's a link to it ► sea.gl/SMREPKIT-YT
The patches I have are slightly rough one side but smooth the other. Do I stick it on rough side down or smooth side down?
Hi Kayak Crew, either side will work. It's more of a cosmetic choice. However, one can't seem but think a rougher side provides better adhesion. Thanks for watching. We hope you'll consider subscribing to Sea Eagle Boats RUclips Channel for more informative videos to come!
Use the rough side. It sticks better.
Hopefully you've solved your problem by now. Just wanted to point out that one the website it says there's a 3 year warranty on the seams.
Thanks for watching! We hope you subscribed to our channel.
What glue, and patch material did you use?
You want to match the material of your hull and use a chemical compatible adhesive. Sea Eagle hulls are made of PVC fabric material. For our non-supported fabric white colored hulls ► sea.gl/SMREPAIRKT and for our supported fabric hulls ► sea.gl/REPAIRKIT-YT. If you don't see a matching color patch, you can call in to order and check our existing inventory 1-800-748-8066 or email Staff@SeaEagle.com. Thanks for watching! We hope you've subscribed to the Sea Eagle RUclips Channel for more informative videos!
I bought a kayak on 17/08/22, I took it out for the first time yesterday, it's got a hole already. Goodness me. Do you reckon I should repair it, or return it? I have it for 3 days only
Nura, we're sorry to hear that. What is your hull ID number? It starts with LES. Or your order number?
@@SeaEagleBoats Hi, sorry for the late response.
The item model num is: 568306EP
ASIn: B00177FIJ8
I decided to keep it but what glue and material would you recommend for repair?
@@Connect_with_Yourself The Hull ID is located on the right rear outside corner of your hull. For repairs, you'll want to match the fabric with your hull. This should help ► www.seaeagle.com/Accessories/care-preservation
yes
Thank you
PLEASE MENTION THE PATCH MATERIAL TYPE YOU USED IN THE VIDEO!!! (glue type details would be a +) Thumbs down until re-edited. Thaaaaaaanks!
Znamor the patch material and glue is specific to your hull. Sea Eagle boats are made of PVC so compatible patches and glue are needed. Here's a link to our repair kit in the video ► www.seaeagle.com/Accessories/care-preservation/repair-kit
is there a specific glue? or i can use any glue in market?
+ESKEEMO02 02 PVC compatible glue such as this: www.seaeagle.com/Accessories/care-preservation/small-tube-of-glue-5-oz
+SeaEagleBoats or this if you need patch material: www.seaeagle.com/Accessories/care-preservation/repair-kit-for-se6-8-9-se330-
thanks, but, is there alternative ones?
+ESKEEMO02 02 Same answer my friend. It has to be a PVC compatible glue. You can drop by a local pool store or WestMarine and tell them that you need a pvc compatible glue to patch your iK.
+ESKEEMO02 02, Not just any glue! It must be pvc compatible or you could damage your hull.
I don't have a hole in my seaEagle, the problem is, while pumping air into it. part of the seem just unglue and opened up and let all the air out. what is the best way to repair that problem, without having it open up on me or my family while we are on the water.
Sorry for the late response. If you contact customer service at Staff@SeaEagle.com or 1-800-748-8066 they'll guide you in the right direction.
where can i buy the glue and patch material for my sea eagle gt-15...

I live in canada and we cannot buy your glue online. What do you recommend for Canada?
Single part adhesive PVC kayak material glue.
@@SeaEagleBoats Thank you for your reply
👌
Thank you so much!
would this kit work for a sevylor 360?
Yes, if it's of PVC construction.

need help, i saw the link for the glue products but $22 is a tad bit out of my budget. is there anything i can get for under 10 locally? like super glue, gorilla glue, or a pvc vinyl friendly cement around the walmart aisles?
btw its for an intex explorer k2 suffering from a glass puncture. and i see the hole, just no glue.
thanks!

***** thanks :)
any type of pvc of vinyl adhesive.

Why does this video not follow the instructions listed on the glue they supply? The glue states you need to clean the area with Toluene and several applications of glue are need to be applied. Does the area need to be sanded as well? What about temperature and humidity?
Please see Jerry's response. Thanks for watching! We hope you subscribed to our channel.
what type of glue ?
Redbird, for a simple patch like this, a 1-part PVC glue works best. It's simple, fast & easy to use. www.seaeagle.com/Accessories/care-preservation/pvc-glue

My boat slowly deflates I can’t find the hole anywhere
Thomas, we're sorry to hear that. Let's get that remedied ASAP. Please reach out to our tech support department via phone 1-800-748-8066, 631-473-7308, or via email to Staff@SeaEagle.com or TechSupport@SeaEagle.com.
My Sea Eagle, virtually new, has a hole (three times this "O") right next to the seam. I just did a repair and is waiting for 24 hours. Hopefully, it will hold. Please pray for my boat.
thx.
Did it work? Mine has the same problem, and because it is near the seam, i have my doubts
It depends on the size and shape of the hole. Please contact our tech support supervisor Jerry at Jerry@SeaEagle.com or call 1-800-748-8066 and ask for Technical Support Supervisor Jerry Allen.

How can I get?
I need to know if this boat or kayak is made of PVC, please.
Thanks for you help. Best regards,
Jorge
All Sea Eagle hulls are made of PVC my friend.
Great ....I also patched my rubber boat in a simple way
Great job!
I only critique how you cut the patch material. I'd have cut from the corner. tut tut 1 demerit point. :)
An excellent way to save on material. Thank you for watching!
Omg wasted 2 mins to find out there is no info what type of glue is needed.
For a simple patch like this, a 1-part PVC glue works best. It's simple, fast & easy to use. www.seaeagle.com/Accessories/care-preservation/pvc-glue
You wasted your money if you bought his shity glue as well. Spend the extra buy 3M 4200
The glue dries so fast you need to put it fast
You actually don't want to place the patch when the glue is wet. You want the glue to cure past tacky then apply the patch. A hairdryer will ensure proper adhesion. Thanks for watching! We hope you subscribed to the Sea Eagle Boats RUclips Channel for more informative videos to come!
What glue and what patch wtf!
For small pin hole like this our "Repair Kit" works great. For larger holes and leaks we recommended our "weaver two part glue". You can also call our customer service department at 1-800-748-8066 to get the exact patches you need to match the color of your boat/kayak - www.seaeagle.com/Accessories/care-preservation
