Transporting
To avoid excessive wear and extend the life of this boat we recommend transporting it in an Outcast Kayak Bag or cover
with clean, dry tarp. Do not load other equipment, particularly heavy or sharp objects, on top of the kayak. If you
transport your boat in an open truck bed please make sure all sharp objects are removed, more boats are damaged in
transport than on the water.
**VALVE CAPS SHOULD ALWAYS BE IN PLACE WHENEVER TRANSPORTING YOUR BOAT.**
Cleaning and Maintenance
Your inflatable boat is constructed with high quality materials and superior workmanship however, as with all outdoor
equipment proper cleaning and maintenance will extend the use of the product and allow it to perform better. Most
damaging to your inflatable boat are extended UV exposure, insect repellents, plus mold and mildew. To keep your boat
performing its best please following these simple instructions.
• Do not set your boat on sharp objects.
• Do not over inflate your boat.
• Keep the zippers clean.
• Clean the boat with soap and water.
• Allow the boat to drain properly so it can be stored dry.
Storage
Short Term Storage
- Allow to air dry, deflate and roll loosely
Long Term Storage
- Store your boat dry and clean. After use, rinse off all debris and allow the boat to air dry on soft
pressure and out of direct sunlight. Residual water inside the bladders/AIREcells will not damage the boat. Store the boat
in a cool, dry place out of sunlight and away from exhaust fumes. If you store your boat inflated you should be able to
pinch an inch of material.
Repair Tips
Prior to opening the boat’s zippers, make sure they are clean and clear of any debris so that they will operate
freely, by cleaning the zippers with soapy water and an old toothbrush.
When patching the airecell, apply the patch to the outside of the airecell. When patching the PVC shell, apply the patch
on the inside of the PVC. The airecell patch is for air retention. The PVC shell patch protects the airecell patch as well
as prevents the hole from tearing further.
