The owner can attempt small inflatable boat repair if factory-gluing instructions are followed closely. Rips and holes larger than one inch in the air chambers, or those within two inches of a seam, should be repaired with internal and external patches by a technician professional repair at a certified repair facility. A quick patch repair by the user can solve the problem for a short period of time, but it is recommended have it redone by a professional.
It is also recommended that major inflatable boat repair, and the addition of large accessories such as locks rowing, with towing capacity or rings, be done by a professional repair technician at a certified repair facility.
