Your repair kit

A repair kit is a very important thing for rigid inflatable boats that you should always have with you when going boating and it typically would consists of:

• A set of patches of different sizes – you get some with a boat itself as a part of the maintenance kit and usually you will get some more from your dealer. You should be enough of 10-15 different patches. Be sure that the patches you have are made of the same material as your boat (PVC or HYPALON)
• A two-component glue (100ml set) – appropriate for the type of the inflatable tube your RIB boat is made with(PVC or HYPALON). Make sure it is not outdated and unopened.
• A small polyethylene cap (approx. 50ml) – for preparing a glue mixture. 1-2 mid-size acid brushes. Small scissors, a knife or razor blades. Waterproof sandpaper and masking tape.

These items should be enough to quickly repair the inflatable tube in case it’s been damaged in the most inconvenient time.
