Sea Kayak Float Bags – Bow And Stern End Installation

Description

Description

Note: All sea kayaks should be equipped with back-up buoyancy (two forms of flotation in both ends). Float bags inside bulkhead compartments create a backup flotation system in case of a hatch leak (implosion in surf, operator error in closing/sealing hatch lid, or hatch rim leak, bulkhead leak, damage/hole in kayak hull, etc.)

These Float Bags are ideal to use under the hatches in front and rear bulkheaded compartments for back-up flotation. However, for the stern of most 16′ – 19′ sea kayaks without a retractable skeg, our Mariner Stern Float Bag will fit better.

For the aft compartment of sea kayaks with a retractable skeg, use the Medium size in front of the skeg box plus our Skeg Kayak Aft-most Float Bag behind the skeg to complete the flotation for the stern of the kayak (bow flotation is needed too).
