I've spent quite a bit of time mucking with this. The usuals, soapy water sitting in the valve, unzip and pull out of the boat and float on it in the swimming pool, find a quiet time and listen for air hissing, eyeballing closely. Repeat 2-3 times.

Can't find a thing. Either before or after using last year's glue with a wide brush and hitting all the seams and likely spots.

Within a couple of hours, the floor is too soft to paddle comfortably.

Anyone have a suggestion? I can live with it, but not happily.

Does it have one of those over pressure valves ? They are notoriously leaky. I put a cork in mine. I figure it will pop out before the floor pops.



Otherwise, just go over the whole thing with soapy water and a 1" paint brush. If it leaks out in 2 - 3 hours there will be bubbles where the problem is.
