Fishing:

With a Sea Eagle,

most kinds of fishing are possi-
ble.  Because it can be easily
car-topped or packed conve-
niently in a car trunk, you can
take your boat almost anywhere
there is fish.  In many cases,
you will have a big edge over
other fishermen because you
can launch your boat where
there are no boat ramps.

This allows you to work productive fishing areas others can't get to.
Small lakes that may not have a boat ramp or inland bays without a
road all the way down to the water, these difficult to get to fishing
areas often have the largest fish that other fishermen dream about. 

Yacht Tending:

Increasingly,

yacht owners are choosing our
Sea Eagle boats for yacht tend-
ing. The reason is that when
they get to a particular harbor,
they want to be able to explore
other parts of the harbor and
get to shore quickly.  In this sit-
uation, you'll come to appreci-
ate the handy towing grommet.
Please note: we never recom-
mend towing your Sea Eagle

above 3 m.p.h.  in calm waters. *****DO NOT ATTEMPT TO TOW
PEOPLE.

Camping:

This is a really great

way to enjoy your Sea Eagle
and to add a whole new dimen-
sion to your camping.  A Sea
Eagle is capable of carrying an
incredible amount of gear, mak-
ing it very practical to get to a
truly secluded campsite.  You
can car-top your boat or carry it
deflated in a car trunk.  When
you finally get to the campsite
of your choice, you can motor

for hours around nearby lakes, bays or bayous, etc.  And, if it hap-
pens to be a large lake or bay you'll appreciate your Sea Eagle's
ability to get to difficult places.

River Running:

With a Sea

Eagle Fishing Boat you can
safely run up to class III white
water (based on a 1-6 scale).
However, before doing so, you
should read some books on the
basics of white water rafting. In
particular, you must become
aware of the danger posed by
up and downstream eddies,
drops, falls, rocks, trees,
branches, shredded aluminum

canoes, broken glass and other obstacles that you may come
across. It is also important to read up and know the danger posed by
any river you choose to run. With a basic understanding of white
water rafting and the river you are going on, you can participate in
one of the most exciting water sports in your Sea Eagle. One last
note of caution, please remember to wear life jackets!   

Disassembly and deflation 

If you are planning on storing your boat for a long period, you should
wipe it down with a towel to remove any moisture to prevent any
mildew forming on your boat. 

First remove the knurled nuts and the curved brackets from your
motormount and store the motormount block and all hardware.

Unscrew the deluxe one way valves on chambers 1, 2, & 3, and then
remove the motormount by depressing the push buttons at the bot-
tom of the tube. Pull the motormount tubes out of the lower grommet,
and then the top two grommets. Rotating the tube from left to right
helps with removing the motormount from the top tubes.

Remove the side struts from the floorboards, and then lift the boards
out of the hull. 

After all the valves are opened,
allow the boat to deflate for a
minute or two. 

Flip the boat over.

Fold the left side of the boat
over.

Fold the right side over the left.
