How to Repair And Replace Inflatable Boat Valves

Repairing and replacing the inflatable boat valves is common that comes as a result of normal boating wear and tear. This video will show you how to effectively check for possible air leaks using a bottle of soapy water, quick repair by tightening the valve with the valve tool that comes in the repair kit, and finally full replacement by disassembling the valve, applying marine silicone around the threads, and reassembling the valve.

I have lost the back of the valve three times and it was an absolute horror,but i managed to get them all three back in place! I wished i saw this video earlier..

don't worry, you're not the first or the last. we've done it a few time too 😅

Thank you, was very informative.

No one ever mentions how to install the whole valve, inside and outside pieces.

[@StrykerInflatableBoats]

Unfortunately changing the inside piece means cutting into boat to remove the backing. It’s not something that we would encourage anyone to do. It’s always a good idea to buy a bunch of spare valves for the exact model you own, as manufacturers sometimes discontinue products.

Could you describe the marine silicone you mention? A search doesn’t come up with anything that ISNT a sealant

[@garyw4076]

Could you please be more specific as to what sealant you used? Many thanks.

[@StrykerInflatableBoats]

It’s a $5 marine silicone from home hardware. Any waterproof silicone will work.
Do not use an adhesive silicone.
