A Feathercraft kayak is an amazing boat, from
its traditional Inuit design, to its ability to fold, to the welded skin that
eliminates water seepage. BUT, like any boat, car or bicycle, it does require
basic maintenance.
It is important to rinse your kayak after ever
foray into the ocean. The easiest method is to leave your kayak assembled and
use a garden hose to completely wash the outside skin.
If any seawater has pooled inside the kayak,
use a sponge to dry and then rinse thoroughly with fresh water.
You can also use a mild detergent and a soft
scrub brush to clean the welded urethane skins.
Allow the skin ample time to dry before
storing.
If you plan to disassemble your kayak, rinse
the frame separately after removing the dry skin.
You can lubricate the spring
buttons and inserts. We suggest using a Boeshield T-9 lubricant.
Take care of your boat and it will last you a lifetime.
