    Default Need Advice fixing A Cadis Navigator II

    Ok guys here is the deal........

    My bro-in-law has this Cadis Navigator II that is a few years old......he use to fish Newport Bay all the time but stopped because he got married. Well I got him wanting to go back out and tube again now I have my tube. The problem is I don't think he washed off his tube after he went out last and now all the zippers are frozen!!!!!! :shock:

    What can I do to get this tube back into useable shape? The bladders hold air still....it is just the zippers that are the problem!!! He doesn't want to buy another tube and said he will go out if I can make his tube useable!!!!

    Any help or advice would be great!!!

    Thanks BakoBassin,

    I will give that a shot........I was also thinking about cutting the zippers out and replacing them with velcro closures.

    WD 40 and let it soak,, If that doesnt free them up????

    The velcro then sounds like a good idea...
