3.1 Boating Regulations  
The U.S. Coast Guard is the authority of the waterways; they are there  
to help the boating public. State boating regulations are enforced by  
local authorities. You are subject to marine traffic laws and “Rules of the  
Road” for both federal and state waterways; you must stop if signaled  
to do so by enforcement officers.  
There are many pamphlets, prepared by the Coast Guard, available to  
you. These pamphlets explain “Rules of the Road,” signal lights, buoys,  
safety equipment, international and inland regulations and much more  
than is presented in this manual. For more information contact your  
local U.S. Coast Guard Unit or call the Coast Guard Customer Info line  
at 1-800-368-5647.  
3.1.1 Boat Safety Labels  
Your kayak is affixed with various safety labels at the time of  
manufacture. These labels appear at specific locations on the craft  
where safety is of particular concern. Safety labels must remain legible  
and should not be removed. If you suspect a label is missing or one  
becomes damaged, contact STEARNS® at 320-252-1642 or  
1-800-697-5801.  
3.1.2 Registration  
The U.S. Coast Guard requires that all power boats operated on the  
navigable waters of the United States must be registered in the state of  
main use; also, many States require registration in that state whenever  
boating on waters within their state boundary. Always contact your state  
boating authorities (and neighboring states) for registration information  
on boats.  
Once you have been issued a number, it is best to affix it on the boat  
by printing it on the material with a permanent ink marker.  
3.1.3 Education  
This manual is not intended to provide complete training on all aspects  
of boat operation. We strongly recommend that all operators of this  
boat seek additional training on boat handling and safety, and provide  
safety training for all passengers.

5. PREPARING YOUR STEARNS® INFLATABLE KAYAK  
The STEARNS® Inflatable Kayak is designed for recreational use and  
can be used in a number of settings. Every usage has its own set of  
required skill levels and dangers. Be sure you are prepared for each  
use before attempting it and you understand the inherent dangers.  
Inflation Setup  
Use a STEARNS® “bellows” style foot pump (Model B502) or  
equivalent pump to inflate your boat. Use caution not to over inflate  
your boat. (Pump not included)  
For proper inflation and safety, the user must make sure that the wall  
inflation valves are sealed properly.  
! WARNING  
NEVER USE COMPRESSORS, CO2 OR COMPRESSED AIR. DO  
NOT OVER-INFLATE THE FLOOR OR THE SIDE CHAMBERS.

5.1 QUICK START TO INFLATING YOUR KAYAK  
Follow steps below. If you do not understand or are unfamiliar with the  
following quick start steps, refer to the following pages for detailed  
explanation.  
1. Unfold and lay out kayak on flat, level ground  
DO NOT OVER INFLATE FLOOR CHAMBER beyond 1.0 psi or 0.07 bar  
2. First inflate floor chamber, inflate to desired skills and effect  
(Increased inflation produces better performance, but more  
initial instability. Less inflated floor has opposite effect). Do not  
over inflate (see page 11)  
DO NOT OVER INFLATE MAIN CHAMBERS beyond 1.75 psi or 0.12 bar  
3. Partially inflate the inner chamber (inside the seating area) with  
the valve adaptor (inside the patch kit). Refer to page 10 for  
valve operation.  
4. Partially inflate the outer chamber with the valve adaptor, until  
the cover shape begins to fill out. The kayak should feel soft or  
limp at this point.  
5. Next add air to each chamber until most of the wrinkles are gone  
and the kayak feels firm to the touch.  
6. Inflate spray ring and spray deck chambers orally or with a  
pump.  
7. Make sure all air valves are closed and screwed down tightly.

5.2 KNOWING YOUR VALVES  
Stearns Cordovakayak uses three types of valves. Type II is used to  
inflate the floor chambers, Type III is used on Cordova’s main  
chambers, and Type IV is used to fill small chambers such as spray  
rings and spray deck chambers.

5.3 MAKE SURE BLADDERS ARE ALIGNED:  
1. Each internal air chamber is aligned in relation to the cover  
which can be adjusted by unzipping the access zipper located  
behind the seat  
If the air chambers are not aligned or centered:  
A. Relieve air pressure  
B. Unzip the cover  
C. Partially inflate  
D. Realign air chambers, zip cover and inflate chambers  
2. All valves are closed tightly, protective caps are reinstalled  
10  
 
5.4 OVER INFLATION  
CAUTION  
Do not over-inflate the kayak. Over-inflation is the primary  
cause of leaks. Inflate the kayak until most of the wrinkles in  
the fabric are gone and it feels firm to the touch, but do not  
exceed 1.75 psi (0.12 bar) in the main air chambers and 1.0 psi  
(0.07 bar) in the floor chamber.  
Water temperature and weather affect the air pressure in the  
boat. In cold weather your kayak will lose some pressure  
because the air will contract. If this occurs, you may want to  
add more air to improve your boat’s performance. In hot  
weather, the air will expand. You must let out some air to  
prevent the boat from failing from over pressure. Avoid  
exposing your kayak to extreme temperatures (hot or cold).  
Check for proper inflation often. Use your thumb to press on the port  
(left) and starboard air chambers (right). You should be able to press  
down 3/4 in. (19 mm). The chamber should feel firm without too much  
resistance.  
If you have difficulty achieving 3/4 in. (19 mm), the chamber could be  
over inflated.  
If you are easily able to press further than 3/4 in. (19 mm), the chamber  
could be under inflated.  
Before paddling, be sure all the kayak's air chambers are properly  
inflated.  
! DANGER !  
DO NOT overload your kayak which exceeds the rating on the  
capacity plate. Overloading a kayak can result in loss of  
control and an unsafe kayak. If your kayak has no capacity  
plate, contact the selling dealer or the manufacturer.  
CAUTION  
On warm sunny days, keep the kayak either in water or in  
shade (if kept inflated on land). This will avoid expanding  
chambers due to rise in temperature which can result in seam  
tears, delamination, popped I-Beams and pinholes. Also keep  
in mind to avoid asphalt, sand, pebbles or concrete in direct  
sunlight as they radiate high ground heat.

6. UNDERWAY  
In all your uses of STEARNS® Inflatable Kayaks, make SAFETY a high  
priority. Each person should wear an approved personal flotation  
device. Learn about your boating area. Get official information about  
the local conditions, tides and currents before kayaking there. Be  
careful that you do not overestimate your strength, endurance or skill.  
Be careful never to underestimate the forces of nature.  
6.1 Before You Start  
Be smart when kayaking and using your equipment.  
Properly inflate your kayak. Do not under or over inflate.  
Outside temperatures of air and water will drastically change  
the volume inside chambers. Chambers may need to be  
adjusted (inflated or deflated) for optimum performance and  
safety.  
Know the conditions of the environment.  
Tell someone of your travel plans. Check local weather reports  
before casting off; do not leave the dock area when strong  
winds and electrical storms are in the area or predicted to be in  
the area.  
Secure or store loose items before getting underway.  
6.2 Transporting, Carrying and Towing  
Your kayak should always be transported dry and in its transporting  
(carrying) bag. Dry and clean as much as possible before placing boat  
in carrying bag. Once you have reached your destination, or before  
long periods of non-use, inflate the kayak and allow it to air dry before  
storing.  
Use care when transporting or storing to avoid sharp points or edges;  
they will damage your kayak. Use the carrying handles to lift your  
kayak. Never pull or lift it by the sides or attach any other device to lift  
or carry it.  
! WARNING  
Do not exceed the maximum recommended load. The total  
weight of all persons, gear and fluid capacities must  
never exceed the maximum load.  
12  
 
6.3 Care and Maintenance  
The STEARNS® inflatable kayak is made of very durable materials.  
However, like anything else, proper care will increase the life of your  
kayak. Before storing your kayak, make sure it is clean and completely  
dry before you store it in its carrying bag. It should be deflated and kept  
out of direct sunlight when stored. Avoid exposure to extreme  
temperatures (hot or cold). If your kayak is exposed to freezing  
temperatures while storing, allow it to warm before unfolding. If a zipper  
is stuck or sticking, do not force it. Use liquid soap and a toothbrush to  
lubricate the zipper open. Rinse completely.  
Never unzip the chamber covers when the kayak is inflated.  
Be sure to rinse your kayak with fresh water after every use in salt  
water and allow it to dry thoroughly before storing.  
To store your boat:  
1. Wash your kayak using a mild soap or detergent. Never use strong  
solvents to clean your kayak. Rinse it off with fresh water and allow  
it to dry thoroughly before storing.  
2. Deflate the kayak. Make sure the valves are open so air can flow  
freely. Dry and clean as much as possible before placing kayak in  
carrying bag.  
3. Fix any punctures before storing your kayak in the carrying bag.  
6.4 FOLDING

7. REPAIRS  
The STEARNS® Cordovacomes equipped with a repair kit that  
includes adhesive and several patches. This can be found in the mesh  
pocket and should remain with the boat. Making repairs to the inner  
tube of the boat may require unzipping the cover and temporarily  
removing the tube. Always make sure the boat is fully deflated before  
unzipping the cover. If there is difficulty opening the zipper, refer to the  
section “Care and Maintenance.” When the repair has been  
completed, be sure the tube is aligned properly in the boat cover and  
the zipper is completely closed and appropriately locked.

7.1 Repairing Small Punctures and Cuts  
1. Cut a patch which is round or with round corners, at least 1/2 in.  
(12.7 mm) larger than the hole or cut.  
2. Use water and/or mild soap to clean the area where the patch will  
be placed.  
3. Make sure all surfaces are dry.  
4. Spread a thin layer of glue on both the patch and on the damaged  
area and let it sit for three to five minutes or until tacky.  
5. Press the patch onto the boat, making sure that no air bubbles form.  
6. Apply pressure to the patch by placing weight on it. Do not peel  
back to see if adhesive is holding.  
7. Do not inflate the boat for at least twelve hours.  
7.2 Repairing Pinholes  
1. Inflate the kayak. Locate the pinhole by sponging soapy water over  
the tube until you see air bubbles.  
2. Deflate the kayak. Clean the area around the pinhole and apply a  
drop of adhesive to the hole once the area is completely dry.  
A patch may not be necessary.

7.3 Seam Openings  
Seam openings are difficult to repair but can be done with certain seam  
repair adhesives. Contact STEARNS® for more information or ask your  
local marine shop.  
8. TROUBLESHOOTING  
This chart will help you find and correct minor problems with your  
kayak.  
Problem  
Slow leak.  
Solution  
Check valve gaskets and make sure the  
cap tether is not interfering with the seal.  
The valve gaskets must be closed tightly.  
Still leaks slowly.  
Check for pinholes. Read section  
“Repairing Pinholes.”  
Air valves don’t align.  
Let air out of both chambers to allow you to  
shift the inner tube to match up with the  
valve holes in the cover.  
Doesn’t inflate  
completely.  
Make sure that the tube is aligned.  
The zipper is stuck.  
Read “Care and Maintenance” section  
(6.3) regarding zippers.  
Difficulty draining water. Wipe off excess water with a high absorbing  
sponge or towel. Kayak dries much quicker  
inflated, and in a well ventilated area. Do  
not expose in direct sunlight to dry. Deflate  
kayak and briefly hang it from the molded  
handles with seat removed and seating  
compartment exposed. To avoid mold, do  
not pack or fold while boat is damp or wet.
