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 MAINTENANC( 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 down firmly. Using a smooth object (the back of a tablespoon works well), force out any air bubbles that may have been trapped under the patch, working from the center of the patch to the outside After removing the masking tape, use solvent to clean up any excess glue, then place a 4 . 5 pound weight onto the patch and allow 24 hours drying time before pressurizing the repaired air chamber Air Chamber Repair . PVC 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 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 adhesive for PVC fabric should be used. This two part adhesive and patching materials for PVC fabric 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 32 MAINTENANC( 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 38 mm (1.5 in.) on all sides. Center the patch over the damaged area, and with a pencil trace the outline of the patch. Apply masking tape around the perimeter of the outlined patch area to ensure a tight and clean glue line. Clean the patch area on the boat as well as the backside of the patch with M.E.K. (methyl ethel ketone) patching solvent and cleaner. Keep solvent off skin. After applying the solvent, you will notice that the area will become tacky. This tackiness ensures good glue adhesion ONE PART GLUE (EMERGENCY REPAIRS ONLY( Follow the directions on the cement tubeTWO PART ADHESIV( Mix a batch of adhesive according to the mixing directions provided with the two part adhesive. Keep adhesive off skin. When the adhesive is fully mixed, it must sit for a short time to activate the catalyst. Failure to do so will create poor fabric adhesion Apply three thin layers of adhesive with a short bristle brush, in a circular pattern on both the backside of the patch and the patch area on the boat. Allow each layer to dry for 5.10 minutes before applying the next layer. After applying the third layer, wait 5.10 minutes and then apply the patch to the prepared area and press down firmly. Using a smooth object (a back of a tablespoon works well), force out any air bubbles that may have been trapped under the patch, working from the center of the patch to the outside After removing the masking tape, place a 4.5 pound weight onto the patch and allow 24 hours drying time before pressurizing the repaired air chamber 33 STORAG( Storage Preparation NOTE:The boat should be cleaned and rinsed with fresh water before being placed in long term storage. Refer to cleaning procedureIMPORTANT: To prevent hull or fabric discoloration from marine growth or polluted waters, do not store the boat in water for ext...
