CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your Delta Kayak is designed to be as durable and maintenance-free as possible.
However, there are some simple measures you can take to ensure that your
kayak stays in the best condition possible giving you many years of use and
enjoyment. The built-in Solarkote finish resists against abrasion and harmful UV
rays. All that is required is washing with a soft cloth or sponge and warm soapy
water. Whenever possible, avoid dragging your kayak on rough or rocky surfaces.
If minor scuffs and abrasions do occur, we recommend the use of Novus Polish or
similar polishing products.
NEVER USE STRONG SOLVENTS, SUCH AS ACETONE OR LACQUER
THINNERS ON YOUR KAYAK AS THESE CAN SERIOUSLY DAMAGE THE FINISH
AND INTEGRITY OF THE POLYMER YOUR KAYAK IS CONSTRUCTED FROM.
After use in saltwater it is very important to thoroughly rinse your kayak with clean
freshwater to prevent salt and grime buildup. Pay particular attention to the rudder
system as this is where there are the most moving part. It is a good idea to flush
out the holes where the rudder cables enter the deck of the kayak.
Routinely check all deck lines and rudder cables for abrasion or wear. Replace
these as required. Contact the retailer where you purchased your kayak for infor-
mation on replacement parts.
WE DO NOT RECOMME ND THE USE OF 303 PROTECTANT ON OU R
BOATS AS IT IS K NOWN TO DEGR ADE POLYME RS SUCH AS ABS. WE ARE
AWARE THAT MANY OF OUR DE ALE RS SE LL 303 BUT WE ADVISE AGAINST
ITS USE.
