Power Pocket Enhancers

Hull System Plates






Power Pocket Enhancers
Both the front and rear power pockets enhancers are quick to fit. They are designed to efficiently catch and transfer the maximum amount of energy of the water that hits the power pocket giving you maxium power to your loops. These power pocket enhancers can give you those extra inches of height, and an ability to adjust the set for different locations by simply fitting or removing them. Try out both together or one at a time and see what works best at your local play spot.

Instructions for fitting
Step 1. Place the enhancer in the recess and place the three screws through the mounting holes and in to the inserts by hand.
Step2. Screw hand tight using 4mm allen wrench that you receive with your s6x.

To remove the enhancer carry out in reverse.

IMPORTANT READ THIS BEFORE FITTING AND USING:
Ensure that all inserts are clear of any debris and dirt before inserting screws, insert screws by hand only and tighten using a normal screw driver. No power tools! Ensure screws are square to threads to reduce the risk of cross threading.

Replacement enhancers are available. While we have made them from tough and durable materials, these items are ONLY warranted against normal manufacturing and material effects. NOT against misuse or normal wear and tear!

Never Lift your kayak by the enhancers. Always load a kayak with enhancers on the outside of your rack, cockpit out to avoid damaging the enhancers

Be Responsible. We have designed all the items in this pack as safe as we can. We want you to enjoy experimenting using the s6x enhancer pack, however NEVER:

  • Take your own safety or that of others for granted. Ensure that by using any of the enhancer items you are still able to control and exit your s6x safely if required.
  • Ensure that when using the enhancers on your kayak you remain constantly aware of their potential danger to others on or in the water with you and take appropriate action to avoid them.

Fins

You can use either the two solid glass fibre fins included, or the optional extra rubber fins on to any of our six fin box locations. The four fin boxes on the hull allow you to set them up directly under your centre of gravity,  depending on where you seat is located. Alternatively mount them on the side as "green grabbers" for super steep wave or hard over carving. These mountings are designed to allow you to fit lots of other standard fin shapes and sizes giving you huge options for fin area and shape.

To Install
Step 1: Using a #3 pozidrive screwdriver undo the two screws on the mounting plate and remove.
Step 2: Fix the fin to the mounting plate using the two screws included. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN !
Step 3: Place the fin and mounting plate in the desired location. Ensure that all inserts are clear of any debris and dirt before inserting screws and fix in place. Hand tighten only.

Hull System Plates

Your s6x came as standard with the flat VGHS plate fitted. Use this plate when you are looking for a good all round performance envelope, slick spins and super fast boat speed on the wave. The boat will naturally want to accelerate down to the trough on most water features. Also use it when you know you are going to be doing some serious rock or concrete abrasion! Use the 'wedge' when you want to get more air and also slow the boat down on the wave. This is super useful when you are on fast or steep waves where just keeping the boat in the right place is difficult. It adds length to the planning area, and with the step in the rear this creates downward suction in the tail that induces hops.

To remove the plate:
Step 1:
Using a #3 size pozidrive screwdriver unscrew the mounting screws in the plate.
Step 2: Lift the plate off the kayak and replace it with a wedge.

WHEN FITTING, PLACE ALL SCREWS IN BY HAND FIRST BEFORE TIGHTENING.
THIS ALLOWS THE PLATE OR WEDGE TO SIT PROPERLY IN THE RECESS.

NEVER USE THE s6x WITHOUT EITHER A PLATE OR WEDGE FITTED IN TO THE RECESS,
THIS COULD EXTENSIVELY DAMAGE YOUR KAYAK.

To Remove carry out steps 1 and 2 in reverse
