If your boat appears to be losing air, it might not be because of a leak. Changes in air temperature, elevation and use on cold water (which can cool the air inside the pontoon bladders) can all have an effect on the air inside the bladders. If none of these factors have changed, you may need to look for a leak. Follow the steps listed below.

1.Start by giving the pontoon skins a visual inspection.

Is the pontoon skin ripped or torn? Are there any major scuff marks? If so, it might be an indication of a bladder tear or leak.

2.Check if you can hear air escaping the bladder in any suspected areas. You can apply soapy water to any suspected areas as well. A leak will produce bubbles.

If you find a hole, fix it using the methods listed earlier in these instructions.

If you don't find a leak using these methods, check the inflation valves:

3.Give them a visual inspection, making sure the valve is closing properly and the valve cap closes securely.

4.Check if you can hear air escaping. You may also use soapy water around the valve. If you find that a valve is leaking air around its edge, the valve may be loose.

Check valve edge for leaks

The inflation valve consists of a two-part assembly. There is the inflation valve itself and the inflation valve cage. The inflation valve cage protects the inflation valve from damage and is bonded into the pontoon bladder.

To tighten a loose valve insert the Inflation Valve Wrench into the valve and twist clockwise. It may be necessary to grasp the inflation valve cage (which is inside the pontoon bladder) to get enough purchase to twist the valve. Be

If the valve

is difficult

to turn, remove the valve completely and add a small amount of silicon grease to the valve O- ring and reassemble.

If the valve is not leaking around its edge, you may have a defective valve.

Please visit our website at the web address listed on the last page of these instructions to order a new valve.

If you must remove the pontoon bladder from the pontoon skin to make a repair, you must completely unscrew the inflation valve from the inflation valve cage. Make sure to align the valves in the bladder with the valve openings in the skin. Since the pontoon skin is captive in between the inflation valve cage and the inflation valve, care must be taken not to tear, rip or stress either the bladder or the skin by over-tightening the valve.
