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. All canoe and kayak parts and repair kits are available through your local dealer. To locate your nearest dealer, contact us or visit our website.

Any areas that become chipped or worn need only to be sanded and touched up with a quality polyurethane, or sanded and re- oiled. We recommend you inspect and touch-up your boat’s woodwork prior to off-season storage. If the hull on your boat is distorted due to an accident, improper storage or transportation, correction may be simple: brief exposure to the heat of the sun often restores a hull to its original shape. If that fails, hull shape can often be restored by applying a low heat source (such as a low wattage bulb or hair dryer) to the deformed area. When the hull is pliable enough, hand-shaping can restore the hull. CAUTION: Overheating can burn you or damage the hull. | 08 | 08 REPAIR Your canoe or kayak is built to last. With proper care and maintenance, as described on the previous pages, your boat should give you and your family years of enjoyment. Though our canoes and kayaks are built to withstand years of use and abuse, mishaps can occur and your boat may at some point become damaged and need repair. In the event of a problem, we recommend you contact your local dealer for the appropriate repair kit or parts. These same dealers can repair the boat for you or give you assistance in getting started in the right direction. Remember that no kayak is completely watertight. It is normal to take on a cup or two of water through rivets or hatches. However, if your kayak is taking on significant amounts of water, you may have a pin hole leak. Either locate the leak yo...
