Transportation
Use caution when transporting your canoe. Be sure to tie down your
canoe firmly, but do not overtighten the straps. We do not recommend
the use of ratcheting straps, as these can easily be overtightened and will
damage the canoe.
When transporting the canoe, we highly recommend using a canoe carrying kit.
Make sure to balance the load evenly on your vehicle. Rest the canoe upside down
on pads or a padded rack as shown below. To ensure stability, make sure there are
two anchor points tied to each end of the canoe, and strap it twice around the belly.

Storage
Be sure to empty the canoe of all water. You should clean the canoe by rinsing
with freshwater, especially if the canoe has been used in salt water or becomes
muddy. Store the canoe out of direct sunlight.
Note: Emotion Kayaks is not responsible for damage to your
vehicle. Consult your owner’s manual for any weight or load
restrictions before attempting to transport your canoe.

Note: DO NOT overtighten the straps when securing the
canoe to your vehicle. The use of ratcheting straps is not
recommended. Overtightened straps can damage the canoe.
