Frequently Asked Questions:
The note says not intended for cartop transportation, but that is one of the situations when I’d want to keep rain out. Please explain? Answer: From the photo I saw from a Purchaser, it looked like a very snug fit. While I have used a cover to transport my other kayak 14' it was possibly a bit thicker, Seal's brand. However, I intend if needed to use this cover for my Swifty 9.5 to travel. While in an extremely heavy downpour, it's possible the weight of the water could make the cover buckle inward and come off but I never had that happen with my other cover. As for it coming off while traveling, I just made sure to PUT YOUR TIE DOWN STRAP THROUGH THE FRONT LOOP HANDLE of the cockpit cover and if it should come off while traveling, you will not lose it! I have to transport my kayaks facing upwards because I use foam blocks on car installed roof racks. I never had any problem transporting my other 14' yak with a cover on it from up north to FL and back and yes it did see rain. (The tighter the fit, the water should just roll off.) Mostly it will be to keep critters out but I will use it to car top as needed. Ordering my cover now.
Would this be good to protect my kayak during transport on top of my truck? Answer: I think so. I haven't used it for that myself but it fits very snug. I would be surprised if it didn't work well for transport protection. I asked my husband for you as well and he agrees it will work.
Will the P7 fit the cockpit of a Prodigy 12.0? Answer: According to the Perception website, the Prodigy 12.0 should use a P12 cover. Hope that helps!
Does a P8 fit a Rhythm 11? Answer: Yes, it does.
