Repair Question?

[Clayton713]

I recently bought a 1989 motomar 6m Rib. It looks like my baffles are blown and there are a few air leaks and 1 water leak in the right tube. Does anyone know any clever solutions other than basic repair?

Try searching the forums for "Gemini". I seem to recall some discussion about bladders that could be inserted inside the tubes that are clamped in place by the inflation valve. Could be an economical fix for blown baffles. Opening the tube to replace a baffle is a big job. A proper patch for the air leak will require the same material the tube is made with and the correct adhesive. Do you know if the tube is made with hypalon or PVC coated fabric?

I will have a post up in the next few days about an alternative repair method as I have just received a big box from Mr Tilley
