Maintenance Tips

• Rinse After Every Use: Rinse the kayak with fresh water after each use to remove dirt, salt, and debris, especially after paddling in muddy or saltwater conditions. This helps preserve the kayak’s surface and prevents corrosion.
• Hull Inspection: Regularly inspect the hull for cracks, dings, or deep scratches. Minor issues can often be repaired with a kayak repair kit, but any significant damage should be assessed by a professional.
• Dry Thoroughly: After rinsing, ensure the kayak is completely dry by placing it upside down in a shaded, well-ventilated area. This prevents mold and mildew buildup inside the kayak.
• Proper Storage: Store the kayak in a cool, dry location, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If storing it outside, consider using a kayak cover to protect it from UV damage and dust.
• Check Seals and Hatches: Ensure all hatches and seals are secure and water-tight. Check for any wear on the rubber seals and replace them if they show signs of damage to maintain waterproofing.
• Skeg/Rudder Care: If the kayak has a skeg or rudder, check for debris or damage. Clean the skeg box regularly and ensure the skeg or rudder operates smoothly. Lubricate the moving parts to keep them functioning properly.
• Inspect the Seat and Footrests: Make sure the seat and footrests are comfortable and securely attached. Check for any signs of wear and replace or adjust components as necessary.
• Lubricate Moving Parts: Use silicone-based lubricant on moving components like foot braces, seat adjustments, and other mechanisms to ensure smooth operation and to prevent rust or corrosion.
• Protect from UV Damage: Prolonged exposure to sunlight can degrade materials and cause fading. Store the kayak in a shaded area or use a protective cover to reduce UV damage when it’s not in use.
• Professional Inspections: For regular paddlers or those who use the kayak in challenging conditions, consider scheduling an annual professional inspection to ensure the kayak remains in top condition and to spot any potential issues early
