cgyguy Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 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 cgyguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tumbleweed Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 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.

midgetwaiter Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Wholesale Sports carries an Outcast pontoon repair kit that includes one. I saw it there last night on the wall of the fly shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cgyguy Posted July 14, 2011 Author Share Posted July 14, 2011 Thanks for the hlp everyone! Muchly appreciated! 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. Thanks!
