Moist/wet pontoon bladders

koboabe · 08-04-2009, 07:46 AM

Hello all,
I am new to this forum and I have a a question for all you tooners out there.
I have a new Pontoon. the bladders are urethane internal and a 30Oz PVC coated nylon exterior.
my concern is that there are water beads on the inside of the internal bladder,
not sure how water made it inside the RH valve, but it is fairly wet.
should I be concerned about mildew? or just leave the toon blown up in a dry location to air out?

pretty typical for the bladders on toons and float tubes to build condensation ...
You could open the valves to air them out but I don't think it will all disappear ...

is there any cause for concern (mildew etc)?

I'd just leave her be after she's off the water. Easy on you, and if it does mildew a little, you can always kill the mildew once a year. Just my

, but my pontoon is also a crappy little Rivendel. I would, however, store it in a dry place.

It will probably never degrade the vinyl to any extent ...
