Care and Maintenance

The Frame

The tubular frame is very strong and corrosion resistant. Basic

maintenance is required, generally every 2 to 3 months, after

extensive use, or if water has flooded the kayak. Disassemble

the kayak frame. Completely rinse the inside and outside of the

tubes with fresh water. Keep frame inserts and extension bars

free of sand and grit.

Using rubber gloves, coat the frame inserts and sliding sections

with Bo-Shield T-9 (a small bottle is included in the repair kit).

Made by Boeing, this is an excellent lubricant and protectant.

Apply this to the frame prior to assembly to allow tubes to

slide together more easily. This product can usually be found in

marine hardware stores and some bike shops.

Apply the lubricant liberally to all sliding pieces and spring

buttons to prevent parts from seizing, if you plan to leave the

kayak assembled for a couple of months.

After paddling, sponge out water that may have pooled along

the keel.

The Skin

The urethane skin fabric is very UV and abrasion resistant, given

normal use. Do not store outside, unprotected. The fabric can

be affected if continually stored in moist and damp conditions.

Do not store the skin rolled up wet. Care must be taken when

approaching rocks, barnacles or shells. To avoid puncturing the

hull, exit the kayak and lift over any sharp surfaces. Do not pull a

loaded boat over rocks or carry a loaded kayak.

A patch kit is included for repairs. Urethane adhesive is used to

apply any patches or fill nicks. Instructions for patching are on the

adhesive. Duct tape will also work well, and is a good addition to

your repair kit.

Feathercraft Kurrent 5

Welded Sealskin

The Polytech deck and Duratek hull are urethane. Seams are

permanently sealed.

A patch kit is provided for deck, hull or sponson punctures.

The urethane glue will work for repairs to all of these fabrics.

For preparation and application, follow the instructions on the

adhesive container.

Sponsons

Due to the tight fit of the skin, the sponsons are under

considerable pressure and some seepage of air may occur.

Reinflate as necessary. After paddling on hot days, release air

from sponsons, especially if leaving the kayak beached in full

sun on a hot day.

To Repair/Replace Sponson

The sponsons can be removed from the sleeve sewn to the

inside of the skin. Turn the skin inside out. The sponson

chamber is open at bow and stern ends. Tie a long string

through the hole in the tab at each end of the sponson. Pull

sponson through the center opening of the chamber (where

sponson hose is attached). To reinstall, pull the cord attached

to the sponson back through the chamber. Ensure sponson

is not twisted in the chamber.Inflate slightly to check fit.

Urethane glue and patches are included in the repair kit.

Duct tape will also work for the sponsons.
