Water in inflatable

[TonyMS]

We have some water in our inflatable (Avon). Probably the result of leaving it deflated on the trampoline of our cat thrashing to windward.

We got most of it out. Does anybody know how to get the tubes really dry inside? And does it matter if we leave them with a residue?

 

[ArthurWood]

I wouldn't have thought it mattered to have a little salt water inside the tubes. It has no corrosive effect on the tube material. UV is what does damage to inflatables left exposed to the sun.

1. Inflate with cool air.

2. Warm up (place in direct sunlight).

3. Deflate to expell moisture laden air.

4. Repeat
