Removing an air deck floor?

[Flyguy]

My Zodiac Fastroller 3.4 has a slow puncture in the air deck somewhere. I can't find the leak anywhere so I'm going to have to take the floor out for a closer look. A bit nervous about doing this, any tips or things to look out for?
Thanks
John

Is yours the type with a LP sausage keel under the air floor? If so just deflate and take the floor out.

Hi John,
Leak test with soapy water, if you have any pics you could send them to me and then I can take you through the process.
Hope this helps

Yes its the type with the inflatable keel thing. I can see 2 button type connections on the keel tube and 2 clips at the transom. If its an easy job taking the floor out then I'll have a go this weekend. I tried the soapy water thing but couldn't see any leaks so I suspect it could be a leak on the underside.

Easy, just deflate it fully and it slides out sideways from the transom clips - will be more obvious once it's out.

Thanks for the advice. It was much easier than I thought. Found the leak to. It was in the inflatable keel. God knows how that happened but all patched and good now.
