Sea Eagle Warranty
Sea Eagle Warranty
All Sea Eagle products come standard with a 3 year warranty against any manufacturing defect that begins the date that
your product is delivered. Sea Eagle will refuse delivery on all packages without a valid return authorization number and
will not be responsible for the shipping or handling charges. To obtain a return authorization number, please contact Sea
Eagle directly unless you purchased from an authorized dealer/reseller in which case you should contact them for more
information.
Sea Eagle must inspect equipment in order to determine if there is a defect. In the event that an item must be shipped
back to us for inspection, Sea Eagle will only reimburse the standard return shipping charge through FedEx, UPS or the
U.S. Post Office at published shipping rates. Retail shipping outlets like The UPS Store will not be reimbursed and you will
be responsible for handling and packing charges.
The Sea Eagle warranty does not apply to products that are manufactured by Minn Kota or Torqeedo. These products are
covered by their own, respective warranties. Please refer to the manufacturer’s warranty of each product for details.
If you received an item damaged, please call the shipping carrier to report damaged merchandise. Do not return damaged
merchandise until it has been inspected by the carrier. Sea Eagle will be notified by the carrier when they have completed
their inspection and if necessary, Sea Eagle will arrange for the repair or replacement of damaged merchandise.
Decals, Stickers & egistration
Decals, Stickers & egistration
Always contact your state boating authorities for information on boating registration and regulations. Most states require
you to register your boat if you are using a motor.*
Upon registration it may be required to provide the Manufacturer’s Statement of Origin.
Purchases made through an authorized dealer or reseller may require for you to contact them directly in order to obtain
this. You may be charged your own state sales tax if you were not charged sales tax at the time of purchase.
Registered boats generally require for the registration number to be applied to the boat. We do not recommend the use of
decals or stickers as they tend to crack and peel over time with the repeated inflation and deflation of your Sea Eagle.
Instead we suggest applying these numbers to a small piece of hard plastic or marine plywood and hanging it from your
boat like a license plate if permitted by your state. Another method is to apply the numbers to the hull using either PVC
based paint or permanent marker.

SAFETY
SAFETY
In a manual of this type it is impossible to give adequate space to the topic of water safety. For further information on
boating safety, visit USCGBoating.org or enroll in one of the excellent water safety courses provided.
It is your responsibility to be aware of and comply with all relevant safety regulations. For all water recreation or sport you
should have a reasonable swimming ability. Just as swimmers have a cardinal rule about not swimming alone, it is
strongly advised that you should never go boating alone. As a safety reminder, each Sea Eagle hull has a list of sugges-
tions printed on it for you to follow that we call Boating Safety Basics.
• Check inflation levels each time before you go out and inflate your boat for a full 24 hours before undertaking long trips.
• DO NOT allow children to use Sea Eagle unsupervised.
• DO NOT consume alcohol while boating or operating a boat while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
• DO NOT drag your Sea Eagle over rocks or gravel if it can be avoided.
• DO NOT exceed the certified maximum capacities of this boat under any circumstance.
• DO NOT go boating alone.
• DO NOT use compressors, CO2or compressed air for inflation, only use Sea Eagle recommended pumps.
• DO NOT use your Sea Eagle Boat as a personal flotation device as they are not rated for that use.
• DO NOT sleep inside of your Sea Eagle while on the water.
Boating Safety Tips
• Always wear a USCG approved PFD (life vest) at all times while on the water.
• Be aware of your local boating rules and regulations and abide by them accordingly.
• Check inflation levels each time before you go out and inflate your boat for a full 24 hours before undertaking long trips.
• DO NOT allow children to use Sea Eagle unsupervised.
• DO NOT consume alcohol while boating or operating a boat while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
• DO NOT smoke inside of your Sea Eagle
• DO NOT drag your Sea Eagle over rocks or gravel if it can be avoided.
• DO NOT exceed the certified maximum capacities of this boat under any circumstance.
• DO NOT go boating alone. Always tell someone where you are going to be boating and what time you plan to return.
• DO NOT use compressors, CO2or compressed air for inflation, only use Sea Eagle recommended pumps.
• DO NOT use your Sea Eagle Boat as a personal flotation device as they are designed for leisure/recreation in mind.
• DO NOT sleep inside of your Sea Eagle while on the water.
Safety Equipment
The type of water conditions you are on should determine the type of safety equipment that you should have on board.
For all types of boating we strongly recommend that every passenger wear a USCG approved PFD (personal flotation de-
vice) like a life vest. In most places this is a requirement by law, but from our point of view it is also an exercise of good
judgment to have a PFD for all passengers
Important Safety Items
Drinking Water & Snacks: Bring a good amount of drinking water for all passengers to prevent dehydration, especially
on warm and hot days.
First Aid-Kit: Be sure to carry a kit that reflects the possible dangers for the conditions you are in.
Manual Pump/ epair Kit: Although our boats are both durable and rugged, it may be possible that you need to make a
repair while on the water in which case you’ll need the repair kit and a manual pump to re-inflate the boat. If this is your
first repair, you may also want to bring this instruction manual with you.
Sun/ ain Protection: A hat can protect both your face and head from the rain or sun. You may also want to carry sun-
screen with you as both the sun and the sun’s reflection from the water can do serious damage to your skin. If you are out
for prolonged periods of time you may need to reapply sunscreen as needed. It is also a good idea to store extra clothes
and layers in a dry bag so that they’re not damp in case of an emergency or if weather conditions change at a moments
notice.
Whistle: Having a whistle readily available to you in case of emergency is a great way to attract the attention of others if
assistance is needed.

The limited space of
this instruction manual
does not allow us to
cover how to sail. We
highly recommend pur-
chasing a manual for
sailing like The Hand-
book of Sailing by Bob
Bond or Catamaran
Sailing by Phil Berman.
Begin by attaching the
mast step to the mast
step cross board and
secure using the large
washers and bolts. For
the assembly of the
Sail Rig, boat should be
only partially inflated.
Remove the bow yoke
and replace it with the
mast step cross board
(with attached mast
step) and secure the
cross board using the
yoke bolts and knurled
nuts. The loop on the
mast step must be fac-
ing towards the back of
the boat.
Replace the center
yoke bar and bolts with
the 36½” tube and the
longer (5”) bolts in-
cluded in the kit. If
there is vinyl material
wrapped around the
yoke, remove it now, it
is for shipping purposes
only.
Attach the aluminum
tubes that make up the
sides of the frame. Ori-
ent the bars so the front
hole aligns with the
mast step bench. Use
the 2½” bolt and
threaded knob to se-
cure the bar to the
bench. Use the 3” bolts
to attach it to the mid-
dle crossbar.
Attach the leeboards to
the frame. Place a
metal washer on the
bolt, put bolt through
frame from inside.
Place a rubber washer,
leeboard, rubber
washer, metal washer
and butterfly nut on
bolt.
Remove the aft yoke
and replace it with the
steering yoke provided.
The yoke has a hole for
the oar pin. The hole
can be placed so you
can steer right or left
handed depending on
your preference.
Slide the oar pin onto
the handle section of
the two-part rudder. As-
semble the oar and in-
sert the oar pin into its
hole in the yoke.

Secure the oar pin un-
derneath the yoke with
the ring.
Tie the Sail Ring to the
metal rings of the D-
ring handles behind the
steering yoke.
Sail & igging
Connect the 2 piece
mast by sliding the
halves together. Then
carefully slide the mast
into the sail through the
opening at the bottom
until it is stopped by the
head cap at the other
end.
Insert the batten into
the opening near the
top of the sail. Once it
is fully inserted, tie the
rope to the fitting.
Place the mast with the
sail on it into the mast
step. Pull the sail down
as far as it will go.
ocate the rope labeled
Sail to Mast Step. Tie
one end to the corner
of the sail and the other
end to the loop in the
base of the mast step
so the sail cannot slide
up the mast during use.
CAUTION/WA NING!
The mast that is on
PaddleSki is not
insulated and could act
as an electrical conduc-
tor. Do not install the
mast near power lines
and make sure you are
clear of them in any lo-
cation, especially while
on the water.
Run the main sheet,
the longest and thickest
rope, through the grom-
met in the corner of the
sail and tie a knot so it
cannot slip through the
grommet.

Run the free end of the
main sheet through the
white ring at the back of
the boat and up next to
the seat. This rope will
control the sail when
sailing. You will need to
duck your head when
tacking.
The sail can be furled
around the mast with-
out removing the bat-
ten. Tightly wrap the
sail around the mast.
Run the strap through
the center of the buckle
and out the outer slot.
Pull strap tight.
