Valve replacement possible

Hey guys,

My 10' inflatable has 3 air valves. The one in the floor has an insert that allows air to flow into the tube, but not to flow out until the insert is removed. However, the valve on my side tubes do not have these inserts and everytime I remove the air hose, air escapes while I try to get the cap screwed on. I was curious if I could order two of the "one way" valves and caps and add them to the tubes, thus making inflation easier.

Re: Valve replacement possible

Maybe, need to know the make and model of your boat and what kind of valve it uses. Pictures help. Worse case scenario is you remove the entire valve and install a new better one.

The boat is a Bombard 305. I'm not sure exactly how to describe the valve. I will try to get a picture also.
