Is anyone using some type of uv protector or other spray to keep their yak from looking all faded? |

There is 303 uv protectant that many kayak users use. |

303 is excellent....however, the hull becomes quite "slick" so careful handling the hull. ![]() |

Fly lines aren't kayaks, but they are probably more sensitive/tender. I never heard of a situation where 303 had a negative impact on fly lines, rods or reels. It can discolor the cork handles, so if you use it on the rods, you need to spray it on a rag and then wipe the rods and not get 303 on the cork.. I will 303 the bottoms of my Oasis an Freedom Hawk 12 before they get in the water, later this year. |
