Wash
your boat with fresh water after each paddle,
especially if used in salt water. |
| • |
Keep
your kayak out of the sun wherever possible
and when transporting, it’s best to
provide added protection by using a cover.
|
| • |
Don’t
tighten your straps too tightly when carrying
your kayak on a roof rack or trailer. |
| • |
A
good idea also is to put some soft foam under
the contact points between the boat and the
racks. |
| • |
Obviously
avoid hitting your boat off objects floating
in the water and getting to and from the
water. |

If

Take
the time to regularly inspect all the fittings
in your boat and ensure that they are locked
in place correctly and functioning properly.
Any fittings, which are damaged or not working
properly, need to be replaced immediately. |
