Swivel Seat Set
(Comes in Pro Angler Package for SE 285 FPB)
The Sea Eagle 285 FPB has 2
fabric bead attachment strips
(one on each pontoon) for the
swivel seats set.
The two Aluminum Boards
come with plastic grips attached
underneath them. These plastic
grips slide over the fabric beads
to attach to the boat as shown.
Join the Aluminum Boards with Aluminum underbars and
provided hardware to form a wide Aluminum base for the
swivel seat. Partially deflate the boat and then slide the
wide Aluminum base over the fabric beads on the
pontoons. Make sure that the plastic grips under the
Aluminum boards securely grip the fabric beads as
explained above. Now top off the pontoons to full pressure.
The swivel seat comes with 4 bolts
and 4 wing nuts as shown. Attach the
Swivel seat to the Aluminum base as
shown below.
Motormount
(Comes in Pro Package for SE 285 FPB)
Motormount simply slides
into motormount fittings
in the stern of the Sea
Eagle 285 FPB. You can
put either up to a 3 HP
gas motor or an electric
trolling motor on this
motormount.

DEFLATION
To deflate a chamber, simply
turn the valve stem clockwise
with your thumb to secure it in
the down position. This will let
the air out of your boat. Our
boats do not require a pump for
deflation.
STORAGE
The Sea Eagle 285 FPB can be stored inflated for an
indefinite period of time as long as the temperature
remains warmer than -20° fahrenheit. For outdoor storage,
cover the SE 285 FPB with a tarp and keep it off the
ground.
For indoor storage it is best to find a dry, relatively cool
location. Avoid attics or other locations with temperatures
above 120 degrees fahrenheit.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Leakage of air:
If your boat appears a bit soft, it might not
be because of a leak. If the boat was inflated late in the
day with 90 degree air, that air might cool 20 degrees
overnight. The cooler air exerts less pressure on the hull,
so it could appear soft the next morning.
If there has been no temperature variation, you need to
start looking for a leak. Below are the three best methods.
1) Visual inspection.
Get a good look at your boat from
just a few feet away. Flip it over and closely check over the
outside. Any large leaks should be clearly visible.
2) Listening.
If you have a rough idea where your leak is,
you can sometimes hear it in a quiet room.
3) Soapy water.
Use a mix of dishwashing liquid & water
in a spray bottle, and spray over suspicious areas. Any
leak will produce bubbles that will pinpoint the location of
the leak.
