Default Folbot air sponson replacement question.

A silly question for you. My Aleut air sponsons have both developed
leaks around the base of the tube containing the valve. How do I
thread a new tube into the kayak?



Hello,
My brand new Yukon came with three holes in one of the sponsons.
I do not recommend using a longeron tube to shove the new tube into
the sleeve!

I inflated the repaired tube 80% and just slide it in, first one side
then the other, it was easy.

P.S.I repaired the tube with PVC pipe glue and a piece of old rubber I
had laying around.
