5. PROPER CARE AND STORAGE
Your inflatable kayak is made of very durable materials. However, like anything else, proper
use and care will increase the life of your kayak. Before storing your kayak, make sure it is both
CLEAN and DRY. You may clean your kayak with a mild soap and water. NEVER use strong
solvents to clean your kayak as they will destroy the material.
NEVER unzip the chamber cover when the kayak is inflated.
Be sure to rinse your kayak with fresh water after every use in salt water and allow it to dry
thoroughly before storing. Use a dry towel to wipe up all moisture. It should be deflated and
kept out of direct sunlight when stored. Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures (hot or cold).
If your boat is exposed to freezing temperatures while storing, allow it to warm up before
unfolding.
Do not store your kayak for an extended period of time while wet.
Follow these steps for removing excess water.
1. Unzip the 2 zippers that run down the sides of the kayak.
2. Use a sponge or towel and wipe up any excess water in the outer cover.
3. Wipe off the floor (top and bottom)
4. If there is sand or gravel in the kayak, you can hose out the cover, and then wipe it
down with a towel.
5. Most of the time you can wipe out the inside of the kayak absorbing most of the water,
then pack it up.
6. REPAIRS
All kayaks come with a repair kit that includes glue and several patches. This should remain
with the kayak in the event that you may need it. If service is required for your kayak, please call
866-262-9076 for assistance.
6.1 Repairing Small Punctures and Cuts
1. Cut a rounded patch at least ¼" or ½" larger than the hole or cut.
2. Clean the area where the patch will be placed with water and/or mild soap.
3. Make sure all surfaces are dry.
4. In a well ventilated area, spread a thin layer of glue on both the patch and on the
damaged area. Let it sit for three to five minutes or until tacky.
6.2 Repairing Pinholes
1. Inflate the PVC tube. Locate the pinhole by sponging soapy water over the tube until
you see air bubbles. Mark the location of the pinhole.
2. Deflate the tube and dry the affected area. Apply a drop of glue to the pinhole
3. Allow glue to dry completely.
4. Do not inflate the kayak for at least twelve hours.
