Q21.How do I replace the air valve in my inflatable boat, kayak or raft?

A21.Top part of the valve can be simply unscrewed for cleaning or replacement with the valve tool on standard repair kits with all boats. New valve can be screwed in place of old one. In most cases, simply cleaning rubber seal inside the valve will fix slow leak that may develop over time due to the grime and residue collection on top of that seal.
