On the water
Check that the load is evenly distributed. In normal conditions, the load must be distributed along the centerline of the kayak, preferably at the rear. For single-handed operation, remain on the starboard side to compensate the torque of the propeller
Under way
Respect the local regulations and practices. Do not make a sudden change in direction without advising the passengers. Make your passengers sit on the wooden seat (standard equipment) or inside the kayak
In case of incident
An inflatable kayak is practically unsinkable, even full of water. If after an accident, a compartment deflates, bring it inside the kayak and return at reduced speed. In case of a collision or an impact with a floating object, stop to examine the hull, the buoyancy tubes, the motor and its attachments and return to shore at a low speed. Take your kayak to your dealer for inspection before using it again.
