WD-40 Contact Cleaner
For added protection of your battery connectors (and the battery lead inside the Kymera), you may
wish to get some WD-40 Contact Cleaner or equivalent. It is available from most hardware, electrical
or electronics stores. After cleaning your board and battery per the instructions earlier in this manual,
a final application of contact cleaner can ensure that everything remains in top condition.
Allen Keys
Most parts on the Kymera are secured with Allen keys and bolts. The Kymera uses bolts which are
best removed with a combination of imperial and metric allen keys. It is worthwhile having a set of
both on hand to allow tightening of loose bolts or removal of jet pump components to remove debris
or replace parts.
We recommend ball-socket T-b
ar Allen keys, especially for the imperial set. You’ll need an ¼” long
handle allen key (T-bar is best) to remove and/or replace jet pump assembly components.
If you’ve used your board in salt water, before you remove any bolts you should ensure that you
thoroughly wash AND SOAK your board in fresh water
–
even run it in a fresh water lake or river
if you have the chance. Otherwise the salt inside the connectors may lock them in place,
preventing removal and even damaging the board.
This is especially im
portant for the ¼” bolts
securing the jet pump assembly to the hull.
Roof rack
We like Rhino Racks, but what roof rack you choose (if you would rather not carry your Kymera inside
your car) is up to you.
Check out the options available to you at your local roof rack dealer.
If you intend to carry two Kymeras on the roof of your car, we recommend 1.8m wide roof rack
bars, but you need a minimum width of 1.3m to allow the rear of the boards to sit flat on the
crossbar side by side.
W
e’ve tried kayak
cradles and J-bars, but in the end we found that the easiest way to transport
Kymeras is flat on the roof bars.
Lockable roof rack tie down straps
We love KanuLocks! A pair of orange 3.3m long straps are plenty to secure a Kymera safely onto a
roof rack. They won’t stop a determined thief, but they’ll stop opportunists, giving you peace of
mind. Find them on eBay or at your local roofrack store.
SeaSucker roof rack
If you have a car which does not take normal roof racks (got a Lambo?) you may wish to consider a
product like the SeaSucker roof rack
Find them here:

GoPro handlebar mount
You just have to take some video of your fun on your Kymera to share with friends and family ... and
us! Find them on eBay.
Sunglasses retainers
We love Cablz retainers
☺
They’re fully adjustable and have a stainless steel cord, so they keep your
sunglasses on really well. Find them on eBay.
