If it came out, it's gotta be able to go back in. This is like those threads where folk insist they've no holes in their boat but the under deck space still fills with water.

Suck as much air outta the tubes as you can manage.

Start at the transom and fold in the side tubes towards the centre.

Fold the transom forward onto the tubes being sure to keep the tubes tucked under it.

Fold in the end cones on to the top of the transom and squeeze the remaining air out of them.

Roll the transom forward allowing as much air as possible to escape at each fold of the transom.

When you reach the bow, do not let it go! Put a tie around it if necessary.

Squeeze it into the bag and slot in all the accessories.

Agreed - I am usually useless at getting things back into their proper packaging but even I can manage my Quicksilver. I managed to get the whole lot into the back of a Rover 400 saloon - even the 15hp 4 stroke!!!
