COLORADO XT PONTOON BOAT OWNER’S MANUAL

Repairing Tears and Holes in Pontoon Bladders

If your pontoon bladder becomes torn or punctured, use the enclosed patches to ﬁx it.

It may be necessary to take the pontoon bladder out of the pontoon skin. Look in the

Troubleshooting section on the next page for this

procedure. To ﬁx a hole or tear, follow the steps

listed below.

1. For best results, it is important to apply patch

to a clean, dry surface and that the surface

temperature is 50° F (10° C) or warmer.

2. Use an alcohol prep pad to clean the surface to

be repaired. If you do not have an alcohol prep

pad, use a 50/50 mixture of isopropyl alcohol

and water. After cleaning, allow the surface to

dry completely.

3. Cut a patch to the correct size with scissors.

Allow for the patch size to extend 1 inch (2.5 cm) beyond all edges of the tear. Cut

the patch with rounded corners. This will make it difﬁcult for the corners to peel up

after it is attached.

4. Peel back 1/8 inch - 1/4 inch (0.3 cm - 0.6 cm) of paper backing and position and

anchor the exposed patch edge, allowing the patch to extend 1 inch (2.5cm) beyond

all edges of the tear.

5. Slowly peel the paper backing while carefully applying the patch over the tear. Take

care to avoid air bubbles.

6. Rub the patch ﬁrmly for proper adhesion and allow to cure for 4 hours before use.
