Using a spray bottle and soapy solution, thoroughly spray sections of your inflated product watching for bubbles. Make sure to check around all valves and seams.

Pin holes can be repaired very quickly using either the patch kit you received with your product or by using Sevylor® Air Seal (U051/AS1).

Seams can be repaired easily using Sevylor® Seam Seal (U050).

All products can be cleaned with any mild household cleaner.

All products can be stored easily. Make sure product is clean and dry before packing away to prevent mildew. One suggestion is to roll up deflated product and store in canvas duffle bag.

Make sure the valve is screwed into the valve base securely. Unscrew the square top and attach the hose of any compatible inflator designed for use with inflatable products.

We do not make any sort of adaptors for this purpose. Inflating your product using any type of high pressure compressor will completely void your warranty. This is detailed in all instructions which come with our products.

Since inflatable kayaks are very light they are subject to wind and water currents. This can be controlled somewhat by paddling close to the kayak and sitting forward. Another way to help is by purchasing a Skeg we designed to attach under the rear spray cover. This will help the kayak run straighter and eliminate some of the zig zagging.

Regulations vary from district to district. Please check with your local Department of Motor Vehicles for the requirements in your area.
