Blew a hole in middle strut while pumping up


NO repair kit to be found & no shop close.

Have 2 extra bladders the right length.

One is SS one pump - blown bladder is not
Second is about 1.5 in. or so too wide at trailing edge.

Thinking about using the oversize bladder temporarily - Problems ???

I don't feel like swimming too far today ..

Been told by the guys at airtime along time ago that there was never an issue going bigger. I have used bigger bladders multiple times without issue

bigger bladders are fine because they will expand to fit the strut, if it is too small for the strut it will burst
