Key Features of the Sea Eagle FastCat 12 Catamaran Inflatable Boat

Catamaran design.

The Sea Eagle FastCat 12 catamaran-style hull design.

The Sea Eagle FastCat has a catamaran-style hull with widely spaced side tubes that create lift to reduce center floor friction on the water.

The catamaran design:

  • Reduces drag and improves speed
  • Improves fuel efficiency
  • Improves balance, stability, and handling
  • Provides an incredible cloud-cushioned ride

High-Pressure, Reinforced, Drop-Stitch Construction

The Sea Eagle FastCat is made from a double-layer of PVC-reinforced 1000 Denier fabric that is drop-stitched together by joining the top and bottom of the floor and sides of the gunwales with tens of thousands of high-tensile strength threads.

The drop-stitch construction allows the boat to be inflated up to 15psi. This high pressure improves performance and provides remarkable stability, buoyancy, and a rigid floor stable enough to stand on.

The reinforced double-layer of protection allows the FastCat to bounce off rocks, logs, and other objects leaving the extremely durable boat unscathed.

Safety Air Chambers

The Sea Eagle FastCat 12 has four rugged, independent, safety air chambers.

Sea Eagle FastCat12 Inflatable Boat Review (2023)

  • by Dave Foster
  • 10 minute read

sea eagle fastcat12 review

Are you looking for a boat to spend some quality time with your soulmate or go fishing with your buddy? Well, the Sea Eagle FastCat12 inflatable catamaran boat might be the vessel you are looking for. This catamaran-style inflatable boat is durable, strong, reliable, and highly portable.

When it comes to a small watercraft with one or two-person capacity, we always recommend getting an inflatable boat. This is because, compared to a traditional vessel, an inflatable one is compact and highly portable. You don’t need a trailer to transport this type of watercraft from your garage to the river. In fact, you can put an inflatable boat into the trunk of your car, making it extremely convenient.

Sea Eagle FastCat12 Inflatable Catamaran Boat

However, selecting an inflatable boat is not actually a piece of cake. There are thousands of companies manufacturing these vessels, and different types of inflatable boats are available out there, including inflatable dinghies, inflatable kayaks, inflatable rafts, inflatable SUPs, and many more.

In this article, we have provided the “Sea Eagle FastCat12 review”, helping you determine whether or not this inflatable boat is suitable for you!

Sea Eagle FastCat12 – An Overview

Compared to traditional boats, inflatable ones are clearly at an advantage. One of the biggest selling points of these types of watercraft is portability. Unlike a rigid wooden boat, you don’t actually need a trailer to transport these vessels unless you have selected a boat with a rigid floorboard.

However, that doesn’t mean selecting an inflatable boat is an easy task. No two companies are the same, and the same goes for their products. Even a certain inflatable boat model is available in several variations. Therefore, you have to do a little research and find out all about a particular model.

The Sea Eagle FastCat12 is a catamaran-style inflatable boat that comes with dimensions of 14’4″ x 6’8″. This boat comes with a maximum weight of 1600lbs, making it perfect for four adults. Its large deck is an excellent choice for those who want to spend a fun day on the water.

Sea Eagle FastCat12 inflatable catamaran boat is nothing if not versatile. Due to its catamaran-style hull and durable construction, it is perfect for camping excursions, hauling gear, scuba diving, snorkeling, sunning, swimming, as well as fishing. As this inflatable catamaran boat is extremely stable, even filing crews can use the Sea Eagle FastCat12 inflatable boat.

Specifications :

  • Length – 291cm
  • Beam – 142 cm
  • Material – 1000 Denier Reinforced
  • Load capacity – 544kg
  • Air chambers – 4 on Each Side
  • Air valves – 4 One-Way Recessed
  • Inflatable pressure – 10-15 PSI

Key Features

Finding a boat might seem like a simple task, but there are several things you must consider before you invest your money. Yes, the hull is one of the most important things to consider. You should invest your money into an inflatable vessel that comes with a durable and long-lasting hull.

1 sea eagle fastcat12

However, the hull is not the only thing you have to worry about. Your selected boat must come with several other features and accessories. For instance, if you like speed, your selected inflatable boat must be supported with high-performance gas or electric motor. Alternatively, if you are a fishing enthusiast, your vessel must come with several fishing-friendly features for anglers.

As Sea Eagle FastCat is a versatile vessel, it is loaded with a wide range of features. Some of the most standard features that you’ll get with Sea Eagle FastCat12 include:

  • Double-sided bumper guard
  • Dual Scotty pads
  • Canopy attachment system
  • Non-slip deck
  • Removable transom
  • Dual seating system
  • Conveniently located grab handles
  • Safety air chambers
  • Self-bailing
  • CE & NMMA Certified

To give you a better perspective, below, we have compiled a list of some of the key features of the Sea Eagle FastCat:

As inflatable boats are made of flexible tubes, most people think they are not that durable. However, this couldn’t be any far from the truth. If you invest your money into a high-quality inflatable boat, you’ll be surprised to see how durable these types of watercraft actually are!

The durability of an inflatable boat is determined by its material. If your selected vessel is made of premium-quality material, it will certainly last for years. When it comes to Sea Eagle, the company’s main reason for fame is, in fact, the durability of its vessels.

The Sea Eagle FastCat12 inflatable boat is made of 1000 Denier reinforced material, which is considered one of the best materials to make inflatable boats. It provides excellent resistance to punctures, UV rays, and abrasions. Moreover, this boat comes with quadruple overlapped seams, offering even more durability.

On top of everything, the Sea Eagle FastCat offers a catamaran hull design. The most significant benefit of this design is that it offers the smoothest ride and improves handling, fuel efficiency, stability, and balance.

Highly Portable

Regardless of the model, inflatable boats are preferred over traditional ones because of their portability. As inflatable boats can be deflated after use, you can easily transport and store these vessels. In fact, most inflatable boats can be carried through a backpack, which is extremely convenient.

Sea Eagle FastCat12 inflatable boat is no exception. Due to its lightweight and compact design, you can deflate it, fold it, and carry it with you. Unlike a traditional boat, you don’t need a trailer to transport this vessel. You can simply put it into the trunk of your car to transport it from your garage to the river.

2 sea eagle fastcat12

To make the transportation process more convenient, Sea Eagle FastCat12 inflatable boat comes with 7 grab hands. These grab handles are durable and reliable. If you want, you can also use an EZ-cart to transport this inflatable boat.

Industry Leading Stability

So, you are looking for an inflatable boat to spend some quality time with your family on the water. In that case, the stability of your selected vessel is also an important thing to consider. If your boat is not stable, it can cause several problems – especially while you enjoy boating with children.

Luckily, that’s not the problem with Sea Eagle FastCat12 inflatable boat. This boat features an air pressure of 10-15 PSI, which improves rigidity, buoyancy, performance, handling, stability, and balance for carrying supplies and equipment and standing.

EVA Foam Cover Deck

The floor is another important thing to consider while buying an inflatable boat. As mentioned earlier, no two models are the same. If one inflatable boat comes with an inflatable floor, the other one might feature a rigid one made of wood or aluminum.

Both of these approaches have their own strengths and weaknesses. For instance, while an inflatable floor is highly compact and easy to store, it is certainly not as stable as a rigid one. Alternatively, if you select an inflatable boat with a rigid floor, you might need a trailer to transport your vessel from one place to another.

When it comes to Sea Eagle FastCat12 inflatable boat, it features a non-slip EVA deck. This high-pressure deck provides structural strength, improved durability, and secure footing. Even though this foam deck is sturdy and strong, it is still quite lightweight, making it easy for you to transport your whole boat.

Canopy Attachment System

A canopy can help you use your boat in any weather. It allows you to go boating with your family or friends on hot summer days as well as rainy days. Fortunately, the Sea Eagle FastCat12 inflatable boat comes with a canopy attachment system.

You can use this canopy attachment system to protect yourself and your loved ones from the rain and sun easily and more effectively. Sea Eagle FastCat12 inflatable boat comes with different packages that even include canopies: discussed below!

Another important thing to consider while buying an inflatable boat is the storage space. Generally speaking, inflatable boats are known for their compact design. These vessels are considered a better option than a traditional boat because they are compact, highly portable, and easy to store.

However, a compact design does not mean you have to compromise on the storage space. Boating is not all about the hull. You need several other gear and equipment to get the most out of your boating adventures. Therefore, your selected boat must have enough storage space to carry all the accessories that you need to get out on the water.

The Sea Eagle FastCat12 inflatable boat comes with a maximum weight of 544kg, which is enough to carry 4 adults and all the necessary gear and equipment that you need to get out on the water. Moreover, this inflatable boat comes with multiple dedicated storage spaces, allowing you to store your valuables and gears effectively.

Motor Compatibility

If you like speed, it’s rational to find an inflatable boat that is compatible with a motor. Inflatable boats can be powered by oars, bow and stern, and motors. We recommend finding an inflatable boat that works with a gas or electric motor as it will make the adventure more fun and convenient.

When it comes to a motor for an inflatable boat, you have two options. You can either pick a gas motor or an electric motor. Both of these have their own strengths and weaknesses. However, you should read the description of your inflatable boat to determine which motor type is suited for that certain model.

The Sea Eagle FastCat12 inflatable boat is compatible with both electric and gas motors. This model comes with removable transoms, allowing you to use a 20hp gas motor or an electric motor to fly your vessel at a speed estimated around 23mph.

Removable Transom

When it comes to inflatable boats, you always get what you pay for. If you want a durable and highly portable vessel, you certainly have to pay more. However, that’s not the case with Sea Eagle boats. Sea Eagle offers the best-quality boats with budget-friendly price tags.

To make their inflatable boat more portable, the company uses removable parts. For instance, the Sea Eagle FastCat12 comes with removable transoms that improve portability and stability. The removable profile makes your boat even more lightweight and creates a smaller folded profile.

On top of that, the installation process of these removable transoms is fairly easy. Simply install them and use a gas motor to glide over water!

Bench Seating Option

Sea Eagle FastCat12 inflatable boat is a versatile watercraft. You can use this boat for different purposes, such as sunning, boating, scuba diving, and even fishing. For most adventures, you’ll be spending hours on the water. Therefore, it’s completely reasonable to ask, is this inflatable boat comes with comfortable seats?

When it comes to inflatable boats, you have different seating options. While some inflatable boats come with inflatable seats, others feature rigid seats made of wood or aluminum. The basic package of the Sea Eagle FastCat12 inflatable boat comes with a bench seating system, allowing you to easily attach tandem bench seats.

Alternatively, you can even use swivel seats with this inflatable boat. An inflatable boat with a swivel seat will be more expensive compared to an inflatable one. But, these seats are certainly worth every single penny – especially if you are looking for an inflatable fishing boat.

The swivel seats are extremely comfortable and give you full control over your surroundings. Therefore, try to find a Sea Eagle FastCat12 package that includes a swivel seat as well!

Additional Accessories

5 sea eagle fastcat12

To get the most out of your boating adventures, you need to find an inflatable boat that comes with as many accessories and features as possible. Fortunately, the Sea Eagle FastCat12 is loaded with useful features and accessories that are here to make your life easy.

Some of these features and accessories are:

  • Scotty Pads – The Sea Eagle FastCat12 comes with dual universal Scotty pads, allowing you to use optional Scotty accessories. Additionally, it allows you to attach up to 2 bench seats, each with four holes, allowing you to mount four additional pieces of Scotty accessory.
  • Grab Handles – You also get seven durable, and strong grab handles with Sea Eagle FastCat12. These grab handles are located on each side of your inflatable boat, making the portage and carrying a breeze.
  • Air Chambers – Before you invest your money, you should consider how many air chambers a certain boat has. Try to get a boat with at least 3 air chambers. Fortunately, the Sea Eagle FastCat12 comes with 4 air chambers located on the bow, floor, port, and starboard. If one air chamber gets damaged, the other three will be enough to carry you back to the shore.
  • Bumper Guard – The Sea Eagle FastCat12 also comes with the underside, full-length rubbing strakes with a protective bumper guard. These guards protect your vessel from abrasions and bumps where your inflatable watercraft is the most vulnerable.

Sea Eagle FastCat12 Packages

The Sea Eagle FastCat12 is certainly an excellent choice for those who want to enjoy quality time with their friends and family members. However, the basic package does not contain everything you need to get the most out of your adventures.

For instance, you’ll have to buy a separate motor, canopy, and swivel seats for your inflatable kayak. Purchasing all of these accessories separately can cost you a lot of bucks. To overcome this issue, Sea Eagle offers different discounted packages, such as:

  • The Sea Eagle FastCat12 Honda Motor Package – On top of our list, we have the Sea Eagle FastCat12 Honda Motor package. With all the accessories available in the basic package, this one also includes a high-performance Honda Motor. It has a carry bag, repair kit, hand pump, electric pump, two paddles, rod holders, two tandem bench seats, a Wide canopy, and a 9.9hp engine capacity Honda Motor.
  • The Sea Eagle FastCat12 Canopy & Swivel Seat Package – Next, we have the Swivel Seat Canopy Package. This economic package includes a carry bag, repair kit, hand pump, two paddles, tandem bench seats, swivel seats, and a Wide canopy. All you require now is a high-performance motor.
  • The Sea Eagle FastCat12 Deluxe Package – Last but not least, we have the Sea Eagle FastCat12 Deluxe package. This one is the most economical package available out there. It includes everything you need to get out on the water, including a carry bag, repair kit, hand pump, two paddles, and two tandem bench seats.

Final Thought

Selecting an inflatable boat is certainly not an easy task. As there are thousands of companies offering these vessels with a variety of features and specifications, you have to do your homework.

If you are looking for a versatile inflatable boat, you can check out our “Sea Eagle FastCat12 review”. This inflatable boat offers everything you need in an inflatable boat. It is made of 1000 Denier reinforced material that provides excellent resistance against abrasions, punctures, and UV rays.

AGING GRACEFULLY WITH SEA EAGLE’S PADDLESKI™ 437PS INFLATABLE CATAMARAN

Stable, lightweight and easy to board or dismount, Sea Eagle’s PaddleSki™ 437ps is ideal for downsizing.

By Tom Schlichter

sea eagle inflatable catamaran

For senior boating fans looking to downsize their platforms, Sea Eagle’s PaddleSki™ 437ps offers a lifeline of more fun on the water. Stable, lightweight and easy to board or dismount, it is the world’s most accommodating and versatile inflatable watercraft.

“It certainly has been the perfect choice for us,” says Graeme Ireland, 73, of Vancouver Island, British Columbia. “We’ve been spending time on the water together for over 50 years, and we have no intention of giving that up as we grow older.” His wife, Jenny Ireland, 71, agrees, noting they are both  retired and fortunate to live in such a beautiful place. “There are so many lakes, rivers and ponds to explore that I don’t think you can see them all in a lifetime – but we hope to see as many as we can and our 437ps Paddleski™ will certainly help make that dream come true,” she says.

No strangers to boating, the couple had owned three boats prior to getting their PaddleSki™ 437ps . They purchased their first boat, a 14-foot runabout, in 1974. Their second boat was a 19-footer that was perfect for inshore action, and it was followed by a 32-foot vessel on which they did a lot of offshore fishing. As they progressed in age, however, both Jenny and Graeme found traditional boats growing progressively more difficult to handle. The couple decided the time to step down to something smaller and more manageable had arrived about a year ago after Jenny tripped and fell on the dock as they tied up for fuel.

“Physically, aging is tough,” allows Graeme. “Jenny has had a knee replacement, hip replacement and back surgery. I have bone cancer that has left me with steel in my back and right femur. It can’t be cured but it can be held in check. So, obviously then, we are both very compromised at this point, too much so to comfortably handle a big boat.”

Enter the Sea Eagle® PaddleSki™ 437ps. Stable, lightweight and easy to board or dismount, it is, quite simply, the world’s most versatile inflatable watercraft. A popular choice among inflatable boaters of all ages, it features the “all-in-one benefits” of a catamaran, motorboat, and extremely rugged portable boat. Easy to pack and transport, this two-person, self-bailing and comparatively speedy inflatable glides effortlessly across the water while affording the options to paddle, motor, fish and sail.

“We figured at this point in our lives we needed something lightweight that we could inflate and carry to the water,” continues Graeme. “We wanted an inflatable boat that could accommodate two people so we could continue to fish together and Sea Eagle’s PaddleSki™ has proved perfect for that. It takes only about 15 minutes to inflate, and it’s light enough for us to carry it easily to the water’s edge. We also love that it folds up into a surprisingly small package we can just stick in the back of our van or on top of the cage at the back of our motor home when heading to or from the water. Once there, we carry it to the shoreline (or use our optional EZ-Cart to wheel it down) and inflate it with the electric pump. The inflating and launching process, including positioning the swivel seats and optional electric motor, probably takes us about 20 minutes total.”

The Ireland’s first learned about Sea Eagle boats on outings with their fly-fishing club, the Island Waters Flyfishers.  “Several of our club members were already using older, single-person and two-person Sea Eagle models with the seat on the floor,” revealed Graeme. “We instantly liked the added convenience of the raised seats and room for two on the PaddleSki™.

While Jenny and Graeme enjoy some cruising and wildlife observation, fishing together is their primary focus while on the water. “We’ll try for anything,” reveals Jenny, “but mostly we target salmon and trout. I like to take a few home to eat but Graeme is really a catch-and-release guy these days. We are both predominantly fly-fisherman, although we also troll from time to time. Like most of our club members, we catch fish to about 20 inches in length on a regular basis on our local lakes. Anything bigger puts you in contention to win one of our tournaments.” 

No doubt Sea Eagle’s PaddleSki™ is feature-rich with it’s rigid, high-pressure inflatable drop stitch flooring, rapid self-bailing, and fuel-efficient, minimal draft, near-zero-drag catamaran hull design. It sports five separate independent air chambers for added safety, a removable transom for increased storability and portability, seven conveniently located high-strength carry/grab handles, a pair of Universal Scotty® Pads to attach a variety of optional Scotty® accessories , plus an EZ-Attach on/off seating system. It also sports non-slip EVA foam deck padding, an anti-splash protective rubbing strake bumper and a high-strength bow D-ring amongst other features and options.  It has a load capacity of two people or 885 lbs. yet deflated weighs just 58 pounds (68 lbs. with the transom included). As for portability, it breaks down into a stowable package measuring 36” x 21” x 12” – that’s small enough to fit into a car trunk or even a large backpack. Room for a cooler and plenty of fishing gear? You bet.

sea eagle inflatable catamaran

“It’s a great package at a fair price,” says Graeme. “It’s exceptionally stable, rugged and durable, easy to set up and easy to store away, but it’s the swivel seats that really stand out to us. With a dinghy or a kayak, getting on isn’t too bad, but getting off is nearly impossible for us. With the PaddleSki™ though, we simply turn the swivel seats to the side before we get on. Then we sit down on the pontoon with our backs to the seats, slide our bodies onto the chairs, and swing our feet around. To get off, we just reverse the process. It’s so simple.”

In addition to being great for cruising or paddling, notes Graeme, the PaddleSki’s raised swivel seats are also great for fishing and enjoying each other’s company. “You can swivel the seats to face forward, to the side, or even the back of the boat. They are so comfortable that when we first received our boat I was posing for a photo with a fish I had caught when it suddenly occurred to me that I actually had my feet over the side.  The positioning was so comfortable and natural that I hadn’t even noticed because there was no effect on the boat’s stability at all!”

Generally speaking, Jenny and Graeme prefer to paddle in shallow water and use their 40-lb. thrust optional electric motor to get where they need to go if distance is a consideration. Because of the PaddleSki™ 437ps’ unique hydro-dynamic design, they have been able to fish on some larger lakes which they visit by motor home for up to an entire week without having to recharge the battery.

Of course, living on Vancouver Island, the couple’s fishing season extends into the colder months, so they stress the importance of picking and choosing your days wisely when heading out over open water. When they were younger, they would battle the elements with their bigger boats but these days they are quite content to pick the safest and most comfortable weather windows.

“At our age,” there’s no fun in fishing when it’s freezing out or we might get blown off the water,” says Jenny with a laugh. “But as long as you keep an eye out for the best days weather-wise, you’ll squeeze in all the water time you’ll need.  That goes for the summer, too, of course, during which we have so enjoyed the added feature of the Sun Canopy we bought to give us some shade.  Even up in BC, our sun can be relentless!”

Ask the couple straight up if they would recommend the Sea Eagle PaddleSki™ to anyone looking for a simpler on-the-water lifestyle and their answer is an unwavering “Yes!”.

“That goes double for anyone with disabilities like a bad leg or bad back that make it hard or unsafe to lug around and operate a bigger vessel,” adds Graeme. “If you are compromised at all with your ability to bend down, pick up and carry anything heavy, the lightweight Sea Eagle® PaddlSki™ is the way to go. It’s already helping us to continue living our dream of sharing as much time as possible fishing and being together on the many beautiful waters of Vancouver Island.”

Standard Features of the 375FC FoldCat Pro Angler Package

The great feature of our patented folding frame system is that it creates a spacious rigid fishing platform for one or two anglers without the need of nuts and bolts. This makes the FoldCat far simpler to set up than most other fishing boats. Just roll out the FoldCat, insert the 4 underbars under the aluminum cross boards and inflate. In just 5 minutes you have a rock solid pontoon fishing boat! This fishing platform gives you full access to the entire top of the FoldCat for useful fishing space. Best of all deflation and take down is equally fast and simple. Release the one-way air valves, pull out the underbars and roll it up! It's just that simple!

When the FoldCat is fully inflated and the underbars press up against the aluminum cross boards it creates a rigid aluminum frame on top of the pontoons, making the FoldCat a rigid fishing platform.

The wide stance of the pontoons combined with the structural strength of the platform makes for a truly stable and secure fishing space. Even when an angler is standing on one side of a pontoon the FoldCat is still stable enough for the angler to stand and cast.

The removable Casting Bar adds safe, secure support for casting while standing and a convenient hand-hold while stepping aboard. It can also fold down and out of the way when not in use.

Does not come with the Deluxe Package

Motor mount can take up to 3 hp gas (min 20" shaft, 45 lbs. max weight) or 70 lbs. thrust Electric Motor (min 30" shaft, 45 lbs. max wt.).

4 Separate Independent Safety Air Chambers for added safety: Starboard Bow (right front), Starboard Stern (right rear), Port Stern (left rear), and Port Bow (left front). Providing an added level of security and peace of mind.

Sauter Carbon Proposes “Green” Alternative to Sentinel Class Fast Response Cutter

Share this article.

Sauter Carbon Offset Design (SCOD) says they have come up with an alternative design for the USCG’s new Sentinel Class Fast Response Cutters (FRC) that could potentially cut fuel consumption in half while at the same time increase cruising speed by up to 10% through solar power and a catamaran hull form.

The design was submitted through the USCG’s Unsolicited Proposal Program that allows companies or individuals to submit ideas for products or services that may be of interest to the Coast Guard.

SCOD says that the E-Class Search and Rescue Sea Eagle, as the design is called, uses half as much fuel to go 10% faster than the USCG Sentinel Class Fast Response Cutters’ currently in use and under construction.  In addition to the fuel savings and increased speed, the Sea Eagle will be equipped with a waterjet propulsion system, dynamic positioning, and “small wave making” technology to minimize harm to the marine ecology.

Instead of the Sentinels tier 2 diesel engines that generate 11,500hp, the Sea Eagle will generate a total of 5,000hp through a Solar Hybrid propulsion package that includes cleaner MTU Tier 4i diesels.  With less than half the fuel consumption of the Sentinel Class FRC’s, the catamaran Sea Eagle’s greater overall efficiency delivers a maximum speed of 32 knots, as opposed to 29 knots.

In “silent electric mode”, SCOD says the SEA Eagle can navigate inland water ways and dock with zero emissions. Plugged in, her solar cells can harness and return over 200 MWs of energy to the grid per year, enough power to offset 3,000 nautical miles of Carbon Neutral cruising at 18 knots. As a Certified Carbon Offset Project, SCOD says the SEA Eagle can reduce GHG emissions by as much as 12,000 tons per year.

Energy from the grid or captured from her 100KW solar array is stored in a Lloyds approved Corvus 2MW Lithium UPS and the 16 ton weight of the batteries also serves as the energy generating motion dampening system.  Combining this with the self leveling T-Foils in each hull greatly improves the ride, related safety aspects and the accuracy of the stabilized remotely operated 25 mm chain gun, and the four crew operated .50 caliber machine guns.

“Government Agencies like the Department of Defense and the Department of Homeland Security while protecting us can also play a major roll in protecting our way of life for future generations,” says Richard Sauter, owner of SCOD. “They have the opportunity, if not a duty, to do this by insuring that only the best examples of fuel efficient Eco Conscious Vessels are to be found in our Coast Guard and Navy.

Considering the USCG has already called for the design and construction of up to 34 new “Sentinel Class” Fast Response Cutters (FRC) from Bollinger Shipyards in Lockport, LA, SCOD faces an uphill battle if they plan on getting the concept E Class Sea Eagle into production.

The first Sentinel Class was  recently commissioned in Miami .

Find and Fix Inflatable Boat Valve Leaks

The inflation valves on your raft, cataraft or IK must work perfectly to hold in the air pressure that transforms it from a floppy pancake to a sleek high-performance craft. Leaks around the valve or through the inflation port can be caused by multiple factors.

In this video, Josh Gile, an NRS repair wizard, shows you how to troubleshoot leaks and how to fix them. He’s demonstrating with a Leafield C7 Valve, but the same tips work for Halkey-Roberts, Summit, military valves and more.

To locate the source of a valve leak you’ll need a spray bottle of soapy water or 303 Aerospace Protectant. You may also need a valve wrench, rags and cotton swabs.

Spray the soapy water or 303 around and in the throat of the valve. If the leak is around the valve perimeter, use the valve wrench to tighten the valve’s outer portion. If tightening doesn’t stop the leak, you’ll have to remove the valve. Loosening the valve is easiest done with the chamber inflated. Remove the outer portion and clean the mating surfaces of the boat material and valve body. Screw the valve back together hand-tight, then inflate the chamber to complete tightening.

If the valve is leaking through the throat of the valve you probably have some grit or debris preventing the valve seat from fully closing. You can spray some 303 in with the chamber inflated, then push the valve plunger to try and dislodge the obstructing material. With the valve open you can also reach in with a cotton swab moistened with 303 to clean the sealing surfaces.

If the valve is still leaking, you’ll need to remove the outer portion and clean the sealing surfaces. If the rubber seal on the Leafield C7 valve is damaged you can replace the plunger, spring and rubber seal with the Leafield C7 Repair Kit.

One handy tip for finding really slow leaks is to make a solution of glycerin (found in pharmacies) and water. The glycerin forms a higher tensile-strength bubble that will pinpoint a slow leak where a regular soap and water solution won’t.
