Qué cubre este vídeo

Overinflating an inflatable dinghy increases the risk of punctures and seam failure, particularly when ambient temperatures rise during the day.2:09 To prevent overpressure, inflate the dinghy to a functional shape rather than maximum manufacturer specifications, and perform inflation during the warmest part of the day to account for thermal expansion.3:30 Protecting the fabric from UV rays and acidic bird droppings with a cover significantly extends material life.4:29 When repairing punctures or tears, avoid contact cement, which often fails; use marine-grade sealants like 3M 5200 or Sikaflex 291i for durable, flexible bonds.5:31 To prevent marine growth from damaging the rubber, store the dinghy out of the water on davits or a halyard when not in use.6:56 Finally, minimize deflation and folding, as repeated creasing weakens the fabric over time.7:21
