I just bought a 10 ft Trailblazer 100 Kayak by Pelican and am trying to find a cockpit cover. What would be recommended?

I also would like to know. I talked to the Canadian manufacturer and they said they have nothing for this model. Shrink wrap? :)

What cover did you end up getting? I just got a pelican trailblazer and am interested.

We have 2 Old Town Loon 100s. The cover is far better than not having one. We had lots of trouble with bugs and dirt and water getting inside if we left them outside, even if we leaned them against a tree. I would advise measuring the length and width of the opening and checking them against the dimensions of the cover. Ours is a bit tricky to stretch length-wise to cover, but it does have elastic to hold it on. I still can't leave it upright in the rain, as water will weigh the cover down until the water seeps into the kayak. I am still glad I bought this cover, it just still takes a bit of monitoring.

if the guide doesnt include your kayak model and make call their 800 number and they will tell you which model is the best fit.

I don't remember. It ws the largets sie at the time (two years ago). Bought if for a 10' Pelican Kayak...real tight fit...takes two people to put it on...for storage only...not for travel...comes off quite easily.

I agree, Seals website is the best way to get the right size. You just look up your model of boat and size and it will give you the correct cockpit cover that fitsyour boat. I have bought 3 of them doing this and never had a problem.

The kayak we put this cover on is 16 feet long, and more slender. Contact Vortex I believe they make a cover that is shorter.

You also should be able to call the seals phone support and they might be able to walk you through getting measurements from your kayak cockpit and get you the correct size that you need. I think that would be your next best bet

Use a stainless steel threaded bolt with locking nut. When you attach it add a dab of silicone to ensure water tight seals (the nut should be on the inside of the boat) once secured you can cover with a little epoxy or clear coat to increase protection (especially if you kayak in salt water)

I went out and took a look at 10 ft the cover on my wife's kayak. Her kayak is about 10' and 28" wide and a higher than 9". You will not have an issue with width or depth. There is about 5" of play on the length. I think you would be ok but, I'd check with the manufacturer before you purchase.

That's the boat I bought it for. Can confirm it fits. Pulls snug on cockpit, but because of it's rounded corners, it does occasionally come off.

Have jet boat. But I don't believe this particular cover would work unless you buy much larger than what chart shows for your boat. I bought 1 size larger and it just fits .

If you go to the Harmony Gear site click on the cock pit cover and there should be a fit guide. Sizing of the cover is based on the manufacture of the kayak and the model.

I'd check the Pelican line for smaller sized options, as they have multiple models. Expect to pay about 20-25% more for the Pelican products. They also come in other colors besides black.

I have a 31" by 10 foot kayak, the front of the kayak is V shape an fits the wing well - the aft is more a flat bottom and contacts the outer edges of the wing only. I bought the Rhino 571 that adjust to the kayak bottom. Our second kayak is V shape front and rear - wing works Great!.

I think something like Duck Brand 1100731 Select Grip Easy Liner would work better for non-slippage needs. We use this on the boat and it works great! It is not waterproof, but this allows for air circulation (on the boat that's a real plus - perhaps in a camper also).

I began with an open kayak for fishing. Start with a comfortable life vest. Try a few on at a boating supply store and be sure it feels ok when you sit and when you rotate your arms. Next is a kayak paddle. Check the ratings for quality and get the kind that has drip rings. Kayaks are very light and don't sit deep in the water. Choose a calm day or you'll get blown around. They are quite "tipsy" so choose shallow water until you are confident with your balance and paddling abilities. Hope this helps.

I kayak in mine. Had to wear a couple times to work in the fit, but i really like it especially for the price. Just get right size,
