StraitEdge™ Inatable Canoe Owner’s Manual

Do not store your canoe for an extended period of time while wet. Follow the steps below for

removing excess water.

1. Unzip the 2 zippers that run down the sides of the canoe.

2. Use a sponge or towel and wipe up any excess water in the outer cover.

3. Wipe o the oor (top and boom).

4. If there is sand or gravel in the canoe, you can hose out the cover and then wipe it

down with a towel.

5. Most of the time you can just pull out the inatable oor and wipe out the inside of the

canoe absorbing most of the water, then pack it up.

6. REPAIRS

All canoes come with a repair kit that includes glue and several patches. This should remain

with the canoe in the event that you may need it. If service is required for your canoe, please call

866-262-9076 for assistance.

6.1 Repairing Small Punctures and Cuts

1. Cut a rounded patch at least ¼” or ½” larger than the hole or cut.

2. Clean the area where the patch will be placed with water and/or mild soap.

3. Make sure all surfaces are dry.

4. In a well ventilated area, spread a thin layer of glue on both the patch and on the damaged

area. Let it sit for three to ve minutes or until tacky.

you see air bubbles. Mark the location of the pinhole.
