Re: How to locate small puncture?

HI Martin Yip those are the valves i have opened the valve as pictured and sprayed and no bubbles.
I have not used the spanner although i got one with the boat.
I am too scared to unscrew the valve in case it drops in the tubes, will try and tightened tonight and see.
Thanks for the links Martin.

Re: Top speed T40 2 people fishing?
