Remember straps should be secure, but not overly tight. Stop and check your load as you drive. STORAGE Your new boat is carefully crafted to ensure optimum durability. But improper storage can quickly degrade hull Cockpit-side down on rack, inset using pads only On the side using Stackers, inset using J-style Right-side up using a Hullavator, inset using saddles shape, color and UV-protection. Storage is key! Above all else, store your kayak out of the sun. Waxes and protectants are simply not enough–they will eventually wash off the boat into our waterways. Signs of sun damage include fading, a loss of flexibility and cracking that cannot be repaired. Keep your kayak or canoe inside or under cover, especially if you live in a sunny climate. A tarp properly suspended above the boat will protect the boat from ultraviolet light. Do not cover your boat by laying a tarp directly on it. With the heat of the sun, the tarp creates an oven that can damage, distort or discolor the hull. Simply leave an air space to allow for air circulation. | 07 | 07 If you must store your boat outside, we recommend you tie it down. Strong winds can catch the underside, fl ip it and cause damage. Canoes should always be stored upside-down, even overnight. Set them on saw horses, blocks, slings or garage rafters if at all possible, as this will allow the gunwales to carry the weight. Store your kayak cockpit-side down, on its side or on end. The best way to store your polyethylene or composite kayak is to run webbing straps under the bulkhead points (or widest points) and hang the boat or place on cradle- type saw horses. This will keep the decks from being distorted. Do not use the strap eyes, carrying handles or scupper holes to hang your boat. Do not store your boat on its hull. If the hull warps, your kayak will not perform as it should. Use a cockpit cover to keep dust and critters out. Attention to proper storage will help ensure years of excellent service from your canoe or kayak. CARE & MAINTENANCE Your boat is designed to require minimal maintenance, and a little timely care will ensure a lifetime of enjoyment. Whenever you wash your boat use mild soap and water. Rinse your boat and hardware thoroughly after paddling in salt-, brackish or polluted water. A quick rinse of the moving parts of the foot braces, rudder and skeg box keeps them clean and operating smoothly. Occasional operational checkups will keep your boat in tip top condition. Check neoprene hatch covers, cables, buckles, straps and other moving parts for wear, and replace them when necessary. Keep all nuts tight and check hardware exit holes for watertight silicone seals. Give your hull and deck a thorough review annually. Light nicks, scratches and scrapes are part of the paddling experience, but deep scratches should be repaired.
