Zeagle bladder leaking.

[JIM MAC SKIPJACK]

Hello everyone,

This is my first post for this board. I have a Zeagle BC that I purchase back in the late 80's. It has too many dives on it to count and has served me very well. I like everything about the Zeagle BC. I am in the process of ordering a new Zeagle Ranger but would like to keep my old one in functioning condition for backup. The bladder is finally separating at the inflator hose junction and not safe to use. Does anyone know if there are replacement bladders still available or if the old one is repairable?

Welcome to the Board, Jim!

There are a few reps from zeagle that frequent this board and answer questions. I'm sure they'll see yours shortly!

Welcome to the board Jim.

I am quite sure the bladder is easily replacable and/or repairable. There are 2 Zeagle reps on the board who should show up soon and can give you the exact answer. It may even be under warrenty.

Jim,

Take it to your local dealer and have them take a look at it. They can let you know your options. We have a "bladder upgrade" special that we can do for you for a little about $130, which would basically give you a new inner bladder, bladder cover, remote exhaust, corrugated hose, and power inflator. You Zeagle dealer can get you all the details!!

Thanks,

Scott

Welcome to the board Jim!

Do you live in California?

Like Scott said go see your local Zeagle dealer, and I might add, don't take the BC apart. They will need to see the whole thing to match up a replacement bladder assembly.

Good Diving!

Welcome to the board!
With over 1000 dives logged, sounds like you may have an overactive bladder. I've heard that this can cause leaking.
