Your boat is a place of quiet relaxation where you can go fishing or just enjoy the simple breezes blowing in off the water. No matter what you use your boat for, you want the experience to be a comfortable one that you can be proud of, whether alone or with a larger group of people. But when your boat seats get torn or damaged in some other way, it can cause an unsightly addition to your experience that makes it hard to focus on what makes you happy about taking a sail in the first place. If you want to take care of the problem, there are a few things that you simply must do. First of all, do a little damage assessment. Some tears are easy to fix, but others are simply too much and a full on replacement is the only way to deal. If you think that you can stand to repair the boat seat, then you must determine what the material is-vinyl and fabric are the two most common. Each style has a different set of tools that are required in order to replace. Vinyl, for instance, operates with scrap vinyl, an iron, and a vinyl repair kit. For fabric, you will need heavy thread and a sailmaker's needle. In order to make the repair on a fabric boat seat, you will need some minor sewing skills that will allow you to seamlessly place the scrap piece over the place in need of repair and threading needles through in a zigzag pattern. Think of it as a baseball stitch because that is what the finished product will resemble. For vinyl seat repairs, you will have to make use of the iron to heat the repair material, indicated by the scrap vinyl. Press the iron down over the tear, the replacement vinyl, and the graining sheet from your repair kit. Through intense heat, you'll be able to mold the replacement piece back into the seat itself. Of course, you will want to refrain from sitting on it until the cooling process is over. Repairing boat seats is simple when the repair is simple, but for trickier to get to or larger seat repairs you will either want to turn it over to a professional or replace the seat altogether. Most people prefer to do repairs themselves because of how much cheaper and convenient it is, and you truly don't need a lot of expertise in order to make minor repairs. But if your confidence is shaky, don't risk permanently damaging the chair. Instead turn it over to someone who specializes in the area and rest easy in the knowledge that your boat will soon be back on the water at its best.
