Sea Eagle Warranty
All Sea Eagle products come standard with a 3 year warranty against manufacturing defects. The warranty begins the date that
your product is delivered.
See complete warranty details at SeaEagle.com/Warranty.
If you receive a damaged item, please call the shipping carrier to report the issue. Do not return damaged merchandise until it has
been inspected by the carrier. Sea Eagle will be notied 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 & Registration
Always contact your state kayaking authorities for information on kayaking registration and regulations. Most states require you
to register your boat if you are using a motor. *The Sea Eagle STS10 is rated for use with up to a 4 hp motor with 20” long shaft.
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
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 a water safety course given by a local provider.
As a safety reminder, each Sea Eagle has a safety summary we call Boating Safety Basics printed on it. Please follow these
suggestions and use good boating safety practices. In addition to the basics, we suggest you have a reasonable swimming ability
and know that it is safer to go boating with a buddy. If you go alone, tell someone your float plan as described below. When
possible, plan your trip so you go upwind on the way out and downwind on the way back.
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 your 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 pavement or cement (eg: parking lot or boat ramp) 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.
• Bring a fully charged cell phone or other emergency contact device in a waterproof bag.
• Always tell someone of your boating plans.
Right of Way
Stay out of boat channels whenever possible. Be prepared to yield right of way to larger boats especially if the oncoming boat has
structures such as cabins or open hatches that limit visibility of the waters ahead.
Safety Equipment & Important Safety Items
Water conditions will determine the type of safety equipment needed. At a minimum have a PFD (personal flotation device) and a
whistle for each passenger. PDFs are required by law In most places.
Drinking Water & Snacks: Boating is a physical activity that can deplete your reserves. Have enough water and snacks to prevent
dehydration and loss of stamina. Bring enough water for all passengers. Know the warning signs of dehydration and heat sickness
such as dizziness and shaking.
Extra Clothes/Layers: Avoid deadly hypothermia. Water conducts heat faster than air, so go prepared with weather proof
clothing especially if the water is cold. Use a “dry bag” to store extra clothing inside so they’re not damp when needed. Wear a
wetsuit or drysuit when warranted.
First Aid-Kit: Contents of the kit may vary depending on your preferences but be sure to include items that match the hazards
you are likely to encounter. A waterproof container is recommended.
Manual Pump/Repair 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/Rain Protection: A hat can protect both your face and head from the rain or sun. Sunscreen will help prevent serious
damage to your skin from the sun and the sun’s reflection from the water. Reapply sunscreen as needed.
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.
Float Plan: Similar to a pilot’s Flight Plan, consider having a Float Plan (www.floatplancentral.org). Always tell someone where
you are going to be boating and what time you plan to return. Keep a cell phone in a waterproof container that will float if it falls
in the water.

SAFETY
Boating is challenging and inherently dangerous. Follow safe boating practices. Be physically t enough to meet the challenges,
prepared for any weather conditions that might be anticipated, and follow the safety basics. Protect all personal items in a
waterproof bag. Secure all accessories to the boat.
Motor Safety and Reboarding
Warning: Spinning propellers and carbon monoxide produced by gas engines can cause serious injury or death.
• Do not approach a running motor from the water.
• If you or your passenger falls overboard, do not attempt to reboard in the motor mount area.
• Turn engine o at a safe distance when approaching a swimmer in the water.
• Install propeller guard on gas motors
If the motor is equipped with an engine safety cuto (kill) switch, the driver must attach the cable to themselves, either around
the thigh or wrist, or to clothing (preferably a life jacket). In addition:
• Test regularly to ensure that the engine stops when the kill cord is pulled from the switch.
• Make sure that the kill cord is in good condition.
• Always attach the kill cord securely to the driver, ideally before the engine is started, but certainly before the boat is put in
gear.
• Stop the engine before transferring the kill cord to another driver.
• Wireless kill switches are available and each passenger can wear one.
Reboarding:
To get back in the boat from the water, hold the oarlock with one hand. Stay low in the water and with a big scissor kick and pull
on the oarlock, grab on of the seats and throw one leg over onto the boat. Roll into the boat.
Warning Labels:
Safety Instructions/Boating Safety Basics are glued to the inside of the left chamber mid-ship.
Safety Training
Completion of an approved boating safety course is recommended for all operators of powered boats, and is required for junior
operators in many jurisdictions.

OPERATING YOUR SEA EAGLE
Working Pressure: Maximum recommended pressure is 3.2 psi (.22 bar).
Warning: Over pressurization could lead to catastrophic failure and sudden release of compressed air. Serious
injury to persons nearby could result. Maximum recommended pressure is 3.2 psi (.22 bar).
As air is compressed it heats up and expands. Warm air occupies more volume than cool air. If the water is cold, warm
air in the boat will shrink and some rigidity will be lost. Allow a few minutes for the boat to cool o in the water, and if
needed, top it o with enough pump strokes to bring it back up to pressure. The boat could also appear to lose
pressure overnight if the nighttime temperature drops signicantly below the daytime temperature.
The Stealth Stalker holds a lot of air! Inating with the manual pump is hard work and takes approximately 15 minutes
with breaks to inate the boat. The exercise from inating the boat may be valuable, but often kayaking time is limited
and it is better to get out on the water as quickly as possible. An electric pump is recommended for achieving that
goal.
Caution: Inating the boat manually is physically demanding. Pace yourself. If you feel uncomfortable, stop and
rest, do not proceed if you are having a health issue.
Caution: BEFORE & DURING USE: Whether the boat is in its bag or inflated, avoid damage; do not drag your Sea Eagle over
abrasive surfaces like asphalt parking lots, gravel or concrete boat ramps, . Carry or wheel your Sea Eagle from the car to the setup
point, and then into the water when assembled.
Rocks and sticks usually will not damage a Sea Eagle but be alert for partially hidden or submerged hazards like metal signs,
shopping carts and other debris especially during periods of low water. Be careful of docks which may have exposed nails or
screws.
FISH SPINES: Many species of fish have sharp spines than can cause small punctures in the STS10. Do not allow fighting fish to
bump the boat. Use a net to pull fish out of water when possible.

Invasive Species Control: Introduction of non-native plants and animal is a serious problem that can irreversibly harm local
habitats. If your boat is to be used in multiple waterways, remove the oorboards, drain the boat, disinfect all items with a sanitizer
such as a mild bleach solution, or allow to air dry before launching in a new waterway. Check local requirements for decontamina-
tion. Procedures are sometimes posted near launch ramps and put-in points. Sea Eagle boats are constructed of chemical resistant
PVC, sanitizers will not damage the material. Steam cleaning is also acceptable.

OPERATING YOUR SEA EAGLE
Motor Selection
The STS-10 can take an electric trolling motor or small gas motor up to 4 hp. Because of its light weight, the STS-10
only needs a small trolling motor such as the Watersnake Venom 34 or Minn Kota Endura 30. For gas motors, a 20”
shaft (“long shaft”) is recommended.
Gas Powered
Some of the advantages of gas motors over electric trolling motors include; increased range over battery powered
motors, ample power against a headwind, and they do not require a heavy marine deep cell battery or expensive
lithium ion batteries. Disadvantages include; high initial cost, maintenance costs and gasoline storage. A 20” long shaft
works best. A 15”short-shaft motor will work only at low speed and the boat must be weighted towards the rear, oth-
erwise the propeller will pull air down from the surface.
The STS-10 is a “displacement hull” that does not plane, it pushes up a wave at the bow and cannot overcome the
wave. A gas motor can provide more power than the STS-10 can take advantage of. In calm conditions, the speed of
the boat is limited to its hull speed of approximately 4 mph. Beyond a certain setting, approximately ¼ throttle, the
motor may shake, ventilate (pull air down to the propeller), or the sound may change to a deep rumbling with no
increase in speed (lugging). For these reasons, using more than a small motor like a Honda 2.3 hp is not needed.
Torqeedo and similar electric motors are powerful like gas motors and perform like gas motors..
Electric Trolling Motor
Some advantages of trolling motors are; their low cost, light weight, ease of storage, low maintenance requirements,
quiet operation, and usability in bodies of water that prohibit gas motors.
There are some basic features to know in order to understand electric motors. The thrust rating of a motor is also its
maximum electrical draw in amps. A 30 lb thrust motor draws about 30 amps on the highest setting. To extend range,
operate the motor on a lower setting. For example, the Watersnake Venom 34 has ve settings, and draws
approximately 12 amps on the #3 power setting. Watersnake and Minn Kota trolling motors can easily push the STS-10
to its hull speed. According to Minn Kota, their trolling motor propellers are pitched to push a boat at approximately 4
mph. A larger thrust motor will not appreciably raise the speed of the boat, but could help in a strong headwind.
In a river or tidal current, the STS-10 cannot make progress against a current that is more than its hull speed or the
speed of the trolling motor. Forward speed will vary depending on conditions, but if the current is moving faster than
the boat can go, it cannot make headway and may go backwards relative to land. Because of the limits of a
displacement hull, adding a larger motor may not be eective.

OPERATING YOUR SEA EAGLE
Battery Selection
A wide range of acceptable batteries are available. The battery must be 12 volt (unless otherwise stated by the
manufacturer), deep cycle, and between about 20 and 120 Amp Hours (Ah). Amp hours is a very important number, if
the battery you are looking at doesn’t clearly state the amp hours, it may not be suitable. A 12v deep cycle lead-acid
battery, personal watercraft battery, electric vehicle (wheelchair) battery, or lithium ion battery is acceptable. A Group
24 lead-acid battery or smaller is recommended for the STS-10. Group 24 batteries weigh approximately 50 lbs and
hold approximately 75 Ah of charge. Bigger batteries, like Group 27 batteries weigh approximately 60 lbs, hold
approximately 100 Ah, but can be dicult to safely manage in a small inatable boat.
Battery Features and Safety for Trolling Motors
• To determine a motor’s approximate run time, divide the amp hour rating by the motor or thrust amperage. For
example, a battery rated at 60 Ah connected to a 30 amp motor will last approximately two hours at full speed.
Note: this number will vary depending on conditions.
• Not more than 85% discharge is recommended. Multiply the above by 0.85 to get best run time. Running the battery
all the way down will shorten its life.
• Charge battery after each use. Lead acid batteries like to be kept charged.
• Exposure to excessive heat will shorten battery life.
• Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) and starting power are not a consideration.
• 12v automobile, lawn tractor and motorcycle batteries can be used but are not designed for deep discharge and will
wear out more quickly.
• A battery box like the Minn Kota Power Center is recommended, especially around aluminum paddle shafts which
could cause an electrical short. It has a built-in circuit breaker. It will keep bare skin and clothes protected if any acid
leaks from the battery.
• A circuit breaker provides important protection to the motor. See Circuit Breaker section below.
• Positive (+) red wire connects to positive (+) battery terminal. Black wire to negative terminal (-).
• Caution: Do not attach the motor wires to the wrong battery terminals. Connecting to the wrong terminals can
cause wires to heat up, melting the insulation and cutting through the boat.
• A 12v battery charger will be needed. A charger with at least three phases (fast charge, slow charge and
maintenance is recommended. Chargers are widely available and prices range widely.
• Choose gel cell over wet cell. Gel will be less likely to leak acid or get ruined if submerged.
• Lithium or high quality AGM batteries can be a good choice even if they are more expensive. They are generally
lighter, discharge evenly for longer run times, and charge evenly for a longer life. Lithium batteries require specic
chargers, check the specs before buying a charger.
• For some, two small batteries are better than one large, heavy one. A small backup battery can be helpful too.
Circuit Breaker to Prevent Overvoltage Distruction to Trolling Motors
A circuit interrupter (breaker or fuse) is needed to protect against overvoltage, reverse polarity, and shorts.
Overvoltage can happen when the propeller gets bound up in weeds, shing line, or anchor line. The battery will keep
providing electric current until the motor burns out. Often smoke can be smelled or seen when this happens.
Overvoltage can damage the motor beyond repair. Protection of an ungrounded current-carrying conductor is a Coast
Guard requirement as well.
Check the trolling motor manual for the size circuit interrupter recommended. If the manufacturer’s information is not
available, get one that has an amperage rating that is more than the thrust rating, but as close to the thrust rating as
possible. For example, if the motor is rated for 45 lbs thrust, the closest rated breaker may be rated for 50 amps.

StealthStalker | ASSEMBLY & INFLATION
Floorboards
Push the floorboards into
position. The boat may be
very stiff when first opened
making the floorboards
difficult to install. Open the
valves to allow some air to
move inside. Adding some
air to the chambers may
help too.
Locate an area large
enough to safely unfold the
STS10. Check that the area
is free of hazards that could
injure you or damage the
boat.
The floorboards will
overlap 4-6 inches in the
middle.
Rod holders must be clear
of the boards or under the
boards so boards can be
lifted in the middle
without hanging up on the
rod holders.
As a precaution, put the
valve caps in the valve to
prevent them from being
accidentally pulled off by
the floorboards.
With the wide side facing
up, place the long strut
onto the edge of one
board. Lift the boards from
the middle and insert the
edge of the other board
into the strut. Press down
until fully seated.
This step is best done with
two people.
At this time, floorboards do
not need to be pushed all
the way to the back or front
of boat.
If installing floorboards
without a helper, place a
tackle box or something
similar under one side of
the floorboards in the
middle of boat.
Pull boards upward until
they can be joined
together by the H-bar.
Once floorboards are
joined together, remove
prop and push down on
floorboards until flat.
Caution: Keep fingers
out of gap.
Insert the side struts, flat
side down.
If any of the side material
is under the floorboards, it
must be pulled out. Strad-
dle the boat and hold the
board down with one foot
while pulling up on the
side of the boat.

StealthStalker | CLEANING & PROTECTING
Dry after each use to avoid mold. While washing or
rinsing: close the valve and twist the cap on so water
cannot enter the chamber. Sea Eagles can be cleaned very
effectively with general purpose cleaning products and a
scrub brush. Towel dry.
Protection from the Sun and Heat
Avoid leaving the boat in direct sunlight when ashore.
Temperatures on a beach, dock, davit, etc. can get very high,
which could affect the vinyl or glue. Excessive exposure to sun
and heat can cause your Sea Eagle to become sticky or cause
the glue to fail.
Treat the boat with a UV protectant such as 303 Aerospace
Protectant. Generally, protectants are a thin film of oil, which
will help keep your Sea Eagle clean and protected from UV
damage. Avoid applying protectant on the EVA pad or places
where foot traction is needed. Treated boat will repel sand,
water scum and tar stains.
StealthStalker | STORAGE
If you’re planning to leave your Sea Eagle outside, keep it raised
off the ground and covered so it is not exposed to sunlight,
rain, leaves, berries, bird droppings, etc.
Storage Tips: “The best way to store a Sea Eagle is folded up in it’s
bag”. - Cecil Hoge, Jr., Sea Eagle President
• Check for water in the chambers. Water will leak out of open
valves when it is rolled up.
• Water left inside can leak out and cause a lot of mold. Dry
thoroughly to prevent mold.
• Rodent-proof the storage area. Mice, squirrels and other small
rodents can do a lot of damage.
• Avoid excess heat. Do not store in direct sunlight, in an attic or
a metal shed.
• In temperatures below freezing, do not drop, strike or
unroll until it is brought to room temperature.
Pull the side flaps on to the
end flaps and secure with
the straps.
StealthStalker | DEFLATION
• It can be stored inflated. If hung, support it along its length.
• After storage, inspect for loose items, damage and leaks.
StealthStalker | CLEANING & PROTECTING
If your Sea Eagle has lost pressure, it does not necessarily mean
it is leaking. If it is inflated during the heat of the day and the
temperature drops during the night it will be softer in the
morning. If launching in very cold water, the air inside may
contract and cause a loss of pressure. Add more air to restore to
full pressure. If temperature is not a factor and your boat is
losing air pressure, it’s time to look for a leak. Follow these 4
steps to help locate the leak.
Step #1. LOOK
Visually inspect the boat close up and if necessary, flip it over
and closely check the outside. Any large leaks when your boat
looses a considerable amount of air should be clearly visible.
Step #3. TIGHTEN
Check the tightness of the one-way recessed valves as well and
if necessary, tighten them with the valve wrench included in
the repair kit canister.
StealthStalker | TROUBLE SHOOTING
Step #2. LISTEN
If you have a rough idea of where your leak is but can’t see it,
you may want to try listening for it as you may be able to hear
the air escaping and pinpoint the leak.
Troubleshoot Valve
Adapter
Adapter will not turn in
valve opening. Remove red
gasket and twist it tightly
to stretch it. Once broken
in, adapter will turn easily.
Reinstall gasket, groove
must be facing outward.
Press adapter into valve
opening with force and
turn it to the right.
If valve opens and air
rushes out when removing
adapter, pull on hose then
twist adapter to left.

Repair Kit
All Sea Eagles come stan-
dard with a repair kit which
includes PVC patches and
PVC glue.
Repair kits also include a
valve wrench.
PVC Based Glue
To patch your Sea Eagle,
use an adhesive for PVC
boats.
Plumber’s cement, epoxy,
Flex Seal, water-poofing
sprays and Gorilla Glue do
not work.
Pinholes
Deflate the boat and
thoroughly clean and dry
the area that is to be
repaired.
For small punctures less
than 1/8” apply a small
drop of glue and allow 24
hours to cure.
Patching
The most common repairs
are a puncture or small cut.
A penny size patch is
sufficient for repairs of this
type.
Trace the outline of a
penny on the patch
material and on the boat.
If a larger patch is needed,
use a larger item as a
template.
Even though Sea Eagles are very rugged and tough, you may
still experience the occasional puncture. Fortunately most
repairs are fairly easy and only take a few minutes. For
extensive repairs, please contact us directly to provide you
with further assistance. The best way to do this is to e-mail us a
digital photo of the area in question along with your hull
identification number to [email protected].
You can also call us directly at 1-800-748-8066 and ask to
speak with Technical Support for further assistance or a quote
for having your boat mailed to our facilities for our
professional repair services.
Sea Eagle repair fees start at $75.00 and do not include
return shipping charges. Please note that Sea Eagle does not
service any other brand other than our own. All items sent to
our repair facilities must have prior authorization in the form of
a Return Authorization Number.
Step #4. SOAPY WATER TEST
You’ll need a bucket and liquid dish washing soap. Fill the
bucket with clear water, and add a good squirt of soap (couple
of tablespoons) to the water. Inflate the leaking chamber to full
pressure. Spread lots of soapy water on the leaking chamber
with a hand towel or large sponge. Don’t assume the leak is
coming from the valve or seams. The leak may produce
bubbles, make hissing or sputtering noises, or spray water.
Spray bottles are not effective at locating many leaks.

Apply patch to the boat.
Smooth with finger or a
smoothing tool such as a
spoon, handle of a utility
knife, or screwdriver. For
best results, heat patch
with a hair dryer 10-20
seconds and smooth with
tool.
Patching Tips:
• The chamber must be deflated or the air will force a path
through the glue.
• Keep the patch size to a minimum, the bigger the patch,
the harder it is to seal. The most common repair failures
occur because the patch is too big.
• For repairs larger than a puncture, overlap the damage area
by about ½” on each side.
• Do not apply the patch while the glue is wet.
• Covering a leaking patch with another patch rarely fixes the
problem. To remove a patch, heat it with a hair dryer and
peel it off.
• For field repairs, allow at least an hour to cure. Other
repairs, allow to cure overnight.
• Patches can be removed by heating with a hairdryer.
• Never use a heat gun on your boat.
• Clamps and weights are not needed.
For a demonstration of good patching technique, please view
the How to Repair video on the instruction page of our web
site. There is a link at the bottom of every page at
SeaEagle.com or type “instructions” into the search box.
Floor Drains
If you suspect the drains are leaking, prop the front of the boat
up and fill it with enough water to cover the drains. If water is
leaking:
• Clear any sand in the threads
• Heat drain bases with a hair dryer (30 seconds).
Bases can become misshapen when boat is tightly folded for
long periods. Heating will return base to its original shape.
Replace cap when done.
Caution: Do not allow hot hairdryer element to touch
base. Hot element will melt base.
Apply glue to the patch
and boat. Allow to dry 15
minutes. Glue must be dry
to the touch. If glue layer
is thin, apply second coat,
allow to dry 15 minutes.
Pro Tip: Trace the outline
of the penny on masking
tape and cut with a utility
knife. Apply tape to the
boat instead of tracing on
the boat.
Cut patch along the outline
with scissors.
