Boyle's Law says the temperature, pressure and volume of a gas are all related - if the temperature of a gas decreases, the pressure will also decrease. You can't "fix" the problem because it's not a problem, but a basic law of physics. You can get around it by pumping the raft up harder than you think it needs to be; when the pressure goes down it'll still be hard. Or you can put the raft in the water then pump it back up when the temperature stabilizes.
