1. First deflate all the valves
and let the kayak deflate for
a minute or two. (See
Valves for details)
2. Roll one side of the kayak
toward the center.
3. Next roll fold the other
side over the first. The
kayak will still have a bit of
air as shown at left.
4. Starting from the stern,
roll the kayak up like a
sleeping bag. For the most
compact storage it is
important to roll the boat
tightly in the beginning and
keep it tight.
5. Once the boat is rolled up
it is ready to be stored or
carried.
Care and Maintenance
There is very little that you have to do to keep your kayak in almost
new condition for many years. You may store it inflated or deflated.
If you leave it outside, you should raise it up off the ground and cover
it with a tarp if it is going to be in direct sunlight or exposed to leaves,
berries or rain.
We do not recommend using your boat below 30 degrees fahrenheit.
PVC material can become brittle in extremely cold temperatures.
This will not harm a boat stored in cold conditions as long as it is not
dropped or subjected to a sudden impact in the extreme cold.
If you store it in a closet, basement or
garage, we recommend picking a cool, dry
spot, making sure the boat is clean and
dry before you pack it up - otherwise mold
can accumulate while it is stored.
Periodic use of 303 Protectant, available
in the Accessories section of
SeaEagle.com, will improve the UV
resistance of your Sea Eagle.
For stain removal, we recommend the use
of 3M Vinyl Cleaner and Restorer, also
available at SeaEagle.com to remove the
toughest stains.
Life Jackets
Sea Eagle recommends the use of
Coast Guard approved Personal
Flotation Devices (PFD’s) when on
the water. The Sea Eagle Life Jacket
features adjustable closures & nylon
straps for a comfortable, secure fit.
Three sizes are available at
seaeagle.com.
Bow Float
Bow Float is a white water accessory
and it can also be used as a footrest
for the person sitting in the front. For
use in whitewater, first open the two
drain valves in the bow of the 340x,
380x or 420x.
Place the deflated bow float under
the spray skirt in the bow of your
SE330, 340x, 380x or 420x.
Now inflate it using the cone adapter
that came with your footpump so that
the bow float assumes its shape.
Thigh Straps
Attach the thigh straps to the
top D-Rings of your 340x, 380x
or 420x where the seat is
attached, and to the bottom D-
rings on the floor. Adjust the
straps so that you are
comfortable and secure. Make
