Hi everyone I'm having a problem with my Zeagle BCD and I'm looking for some advice . . I am not the original purchaser so warranty doesn't apply here. Thanks in advance guys.

I don't know if you can fix that. Might be worth contacting the factory - they're in Zephyr Hills near Orlando.

A couple of other options:

The Zeagle part number for a Ranger Bladder Cover is # 7756 - depending on which version you have. This would be the model number for a Ranger made around 2006-7 or so. You should verify that it's the right one for yours with the Zeagle Rep on SB - currently that's Jeff - [user]JeffZeagle[/user]

Otherwise Scubatoys has the whole wing.

And for $12 less? the LTD wing. It has the zippers sewn on so you can use the Zip Touch accessories.

You can also call Scubatoys for:

Need the bladder without dump valves and inflators? Or any other "part". Give us a call and we will get you set up!

They'd be who I'd call for the cover also. Or Capt. Gene at Zeagle Express in Zephyr Hills also. I've bought from him. http://www.zeagleexpress.com/index.php

I had the exact same thing happen to me with mine, and when researching it I realized I was not the only other person. I ended up selling mine on Ebay at a deep discount due to this tear. Hopefully diversteve's recommendations will provide you w. an easy solution.

Pull Dump? Not saying its your fault, but pull dumps by their natures stress the area.

I would still contact them directly, they are nice people and might cut you some slack. The seem to do the right thing once you reach them.

there are a few fabric tapes that might delay further unraveling... between that and some Aquaseal, dive on.... (or, buy a new one)

Thank you guys for the advice I just bought an aqualung balance but I don't want to throw the Zeagle cause other than that it is in good condition, I ordered an aquaseal glue but I want to know how much it cost to professionally repair it in some Zeagle authorized dealer or Zeagle factory before I do it myself.

Anyways appreciate you guys help a lot !
