Inflatable rubber boat is the most popular means of transportation, they are quite easy to maintain and can put pressure on the long journey flat or simply stored in the deck on the voyage for seaman. However, even if they are much easier to maintain than glass fiber texture of the boat, they still need care, in order to make it possible to maintain the best condition of the long time. Here are 10 top ten tips for keeping the best condition of a rubber boat:

1、UV protection(UV)

Often used craft will suffer a lot of sunlight. Or buy a high polyamide fiber boat that can withstand ultraviolet light damage, or you need to make a canvas kit for PVC material boats. Depending on the location and time of your voyage, the boat can prolong its life by avoiding light. But make sure that the boat is not too cold - near freezing point or freezing point temperature will degrade the material.

2、Keep it inflated as much as possible

The inflatable rubber boat is placed in the exhaust state, which will accelerate the separation, friction and damage of the joint. Should be inflated to the manufacturer's recommended pressure state, and, over time, many rubber boats will leak, should be checked regularly and inflated.

3、Old carpet skills

If you want to stop in the barnacle infested old pier, seawalls or bollards, carrying an old piece of carpet on the ship can be used to protect your boats. Just hang the carpet hanging on the shore tube before you stop.

4、cleaning

If conditions permit, wash your boat with fresh water, and clean up the stuck sand and salt when you use it. Even wiping with a wet cloth will work. If you have to use soap, use a mild dish soap.

5、Avoid using detergent

Don't use multifunctional detergent, brightening agent, or any other commercial product on your inflatable rubber boat. Clean it with clean fresh water.

6、Proper inflation steps

When inflating your raft or boat, fill each chamber in a clockwise direction along the boat until it is formed. Then, fill each chamber to the pressure level indicated by a particular vessel along the opposite direction of the ship. Don't over - inflated when completed, leaving only a few "should be a thumb pressing space".

7、Hot air expansion

You know, air expands and contracts cold. If you inflate a boat in a cool air, and then experience a significant increase in temperature, do your thumb test again, and release some gas until you restore the normal amount of space in the thumb press.

8、Watch out for sharp objects

Rubber boats don't like sharp objects or friction repeatedly in the same area. Be careful with knives or hooks, and anything that can scratch the surface. When the boat ashore, avoid the rocks or shells on the ship, and, if you want to close any barnacle infested dock, carrying a carpet standby.

9、friction

Friction is also a source of trouble for rubber boats. Periodically check the friction points on the surface of the rubber boat. This may be caused by the repeated use of the paddles at the same location, or even the cooling machine.

10、When the hull is pierced

Even if the will is good, sometimes the hull will pierce or leak. Soap and water to observe the bubble formed to find the leak point. Carry a mending bag at any time, so you don't have to drag the boat behind you and swim home - if you can swim far enough. It's probably hard to fix the patches sufficiently strong, so follow the instructions very carefully.

This is just a brief summary of some of the most important aspects. But following these rules, you can extend your years of loyal service from your best mate on a sailing ship.
