Disclaimer:

• Kayaks colours may vary slightly than depicted in images due to hand mixing of colours. 
• There may be slight differences in the design of the kayaks, as multiple moulds are used. These differences are minor and will not affect the performance or features of the kayak.
• The kayak weights are just approximate and can slightly vary.
• During the shipping process some kayaks may get compressed. This can be easily fixed by placing the kayak in the sun which will cause the plastic to expand to its original size.
• Due to the bulky nature of the product, there could be some scratches on the kayak when it is shipped to an address as it gets moved around in trucks and goes through various depots. These scratches are cosmetic only and won't impact the performance of the kayak. 
• Always check local weather conditions and wear an approved life jacket when kayaking.
• Check your state/local Marine (boat) license requirement to operate canoe/kayak with a trolling motor prior to purchasing.
• The hatches featured on Kayaks2Fish kayaks are water-resistant not waterproof. Constant splashing or rain can cause the water to slowly come into the kayak.
• Any damage caused by the incorrect use of a kayak trolley is not covered under the manufacturer's warranty.

How do I secure the seat on the kayak?

Unfortunately, we don’t have instructions. However, the transducer is normally is zip-tied to the bash plate, the whole compartment fills with water so should not obstruct any transmission or reception. You need to unscrew the 4 screws holding the bash/mount plate, then zip tie the transducer to that plate. You then need to run the wiring up the hole which is located in front of the long hatch, then screw the transducer wiring into the fish finder. Please note: When installing the transducer please ensure the right orientation as if the transducer is upside down it will not work.

What do HDPE, LDPE and LLDPE stand for?

Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) is softer and more flexible than HDPE. It also has a lower melting point (115° C) and is more transparent. Compared to HDPE, it is more likely to crack under stress.
Linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) is a copolymer of ethylene and another longer olefin, which is incorporated to improve properties such as tensile strength or resistance to harsh environments.
High-density polyethylene (HDPE) is rigid and durable and offers greater chemical resistance. Its higher melting point (135° C) allows it to withstand higher temperatures than LDPE. Its more crystalline structure also results in greater strength. It also has greater opacity which results in greater vibrancy and longer-lasting colour.
