Caddis Float Tubes


Recommended Posts

I have a Caddis Float tube and somehow have lost the Boston valve that keeps the air in the bladder to make the boat float. I cannot locate any of these : valves, either in store or on line. Any helpful advice is much appreciated.

 

Thanks

You can take your tube down to the local tire shop and replace it with a rubber inner tube. You just stick the fill thingy out where the zipper meets up front and wala your floating. Dont let the tire guys convince you that they can move the filler so it fits back up in the pocket or you could find yourself kicking like a madman back to shore before you and all of your gear become lake structure.

Hi Don.

 

Just to follow up. I went to Autimarine and bought TWO boston valves for the caddis. They were super friendly, and I am once again able to float in the caddis without my arse dragging on the bottom of the lake. :yak:

 

Thanks!
