Care and Maintenance
Lengthy exposure to sunlight can make your boat’s bright colour fade, weaken the hatch covers, and deform plastic elements, especially when left on top of a car with tight straps.
Wash your kayak inside and out with fresh water after every use. Rinsing off sea water will help preserve metal parts.
Use a cockpit cover to keep the inside of your kayak both clean and protected from the sun.
Be sure to be regularly rinsing the skeg blade and slider areas.
If it’s difficult to fit the hatches, apply some silicone spray to ease the job.
Keep deck lines neat and inspect ropes for damages and tears regularly.
Inspect the gelcoat for damages regurary. Scratches through the gelcoat should be repaired.
