⚠️ Safety & Operating Notes
- Always wear your PFD and secure your paddle and gear before launching.
- Ensure all drain plugs are installed before entering the water.
- Lift or use a cart — do not drag the hull.
- Raise the drive and rudder in shallow or obstructed areas.
- Keep hands and feet clear of the drive scupper during install/removal.
- Check all clips, bungees, and pins before launch.
- Distribute heavy gear low and centered for better balance.
🚗 Transporting Your Kayak
- Team lift from the carry handles; avoid lifting by the seat, drive, or rudder.
- Solo loading: rest the bow on a padded surface, then slide up from the stern.
- Center the kayak on your roof rack or trailer crossbars.
- Use two cam straps over the hull — snug, not crushing.
- Add bow/stern lines for highway travel.
- Always remove the seat, pedal drive, and loose accessories before transport.
- Never strap over gear tracks or accessory mounts.
🏠 Storing Your Kayak
- When storing, place supports about one-third of the way in from each end to prevent hull sagging.
- Keep straps loose — just enough to stabilize.
- Store out of direct sunlight or use a cover when outdoors.
- Rinse the hull, rudder, and drive with fresh water after each trip (mild soap only).
- Apply a light UV protectant (e.g., 303 Marine Protectant) periodically to preserve the finish.
