Q&As

1 - 10 of 16 Questions

Q: Are there plugs that go under your seat so water doesn’t get in?

a month ago
2 Answers
  • A: You can purchase plugs if you choose. The holes in your kayak are called scuppers. Scupper holes let the water that has splashed into your sit on top kayak drain out, keeping you drier than you would be if you had no holes. Here is a link to a video that explains how they work: https://youtu.be/A55nWxM3CMs

Q: Can a trolling motor be attached

a month ago
1 Answer
  • A: This kayak is not designed to accommodate a motor. A trolling motor will only work on our Manta, Yukon and Sport fisher kayaks. The design of the Hydros Sit-On-Top Kayak, does not provide a means to mount an electric trolling motor, without having to modify the hull of the kayak resulting in the void of the 5 year warranty period.

Q: Can this be strapped on top of a ford EcoSport. Very small suv

4 months ago
2 Answers
  • A: Thank you for your question. The Lifetime Hydros kayak has an overall length of approximately 8 ft. 5 in. and a product weight of about 40 lb. Transport on the roof of a Ford EcoSport may be possible, provided the vehicle is equipped with a roof rack or crossbar system rated to support the kayak’s weight and dimensions. Compatibility will depend on the vehicle manufacturer’s roof load limits as well as the specifications of the installed rack system and tie-down equipment. Please refer to the Ford EcoSport owner’s manual and the roof rack manufacturer’s guidelines to verify safe transport capacity and proper securing procedures before use.

Carry Friendly

18 days ago
I stand 5'10 and have the ability to walk 50 yards and carry the kayak with 1 arm. 40lbs at its dry weight. I appreciate the molded handle in the middle. I plan on getting an upgraded seat with thick cushion, my husband had no problem using what it came with. We were out on the water 3hrs. This is our third and final kayak; getting shorter everytime. This stands at 8.5 and fits perfectly ontop of my Toyota Land Cruiser.
