3M NextGen10 MKII Kayaks

Made from Premium Virgin (not Recycled) Roto Moulded High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) plastic imported from the UK. HDPE is far superior in strength and durability than LLDPE.

Made with UV10 Stabilized plastic, perfect for Australian conditions. UV10 means protection for a total of 10,000 hours. Given 6-8 hours of UV exposure a day, the Kayak colour and strength will last for 1700 days approximately. That’s equivalent to 4-5 years of use every single day. Please note the UV index varies based on the location.

Aquadynamic shape with a flat hull underneath, to ensure kayak tracks straight and moves faster with less effort. Engineered with greater attention to the chine and rocker parts of the Kayak to provide greater stability under choppy conditions.

Lightweight Kayak with weight just 23 Kgs, easier to handle by just one person. Load capacity of 175 Kgs; a result of better design and use of a premium material.

Ideal for both recreational and fishing purposes. Kayak is best suited for lakes, rivers, dams, estuaries and harbours. With these Kayaks, you can go where bigger boats can't such as kelp beds, reefs, mangrove shallows, coast cliff lines.

A specifically designed area to enable standing up while fishing. Helps you cast better, further and longer.

Luxury Vantage Aluminium seat provides superior comfort during long hours on the water. Great for alleviating pressure on your lower back. Helps you stay dry as you sit higher and it can also be used as beach chair.

Kayaks are stackable, making it easier to transport two-three kayaks at a time.

Easy to use rudder system. Helps with tracking and manoeuvring the kayak.

Large storage area for tackle and lures.

Preinstalled Track Rails for installing GoPro, Fish Finder, Rod Holders etc

Skid plate to protect stern from impact and abrasion.

Tackle box storage on either side of the seat for easy access.

Disclaimer:

• Kayaks colours may vary slightly than depicted in images due to hand mixing of colours. 
• There may be slight differences in the design of the kayaks, as multiple moulds are used. These differences are minor and will not affect the performance or features of the kayak.
• The kayak weights are just approximate and can slightly vary.
• During the shipping process some kayaks may get compressed. This can be easily fixed by placing the kayak in the sun which will cause the plastic to expand to its original size.
• Due to the bulky nature of the product, there could be some scratches on the kayak when it is shipped to an address as it gets moved around in trucks and goes through various depots. These scratches are cosmetic only and won't impact the performance of the kayak. 
• Always check local weather conditions and wear an approved life jacket when kayaking.
• Check your state/local Marine (boat) license requirement to operate canoe/kayak with a trolling motor prior to purchasing.
• The hatches featured on Kayaks2Fish kayaks are water-resistant not waterproof. Constant splashing or rain can cause the water to slowly come into the kayak.
• Any damage caused by the incorrect use of a kayak trolley is not covered under the manufacturer's warranty.

How do I secure the seat to the kayak?

Here is a video outline of the installation process for the seat: https://k2f.com.au/s/cfc

Does the Nextgen 10 Mk2 come with a seat?

Yes, the NextGen 10 Mk2 comes with the Vantage Aluminium seat as standard. It allows for more comfortable seating and keeps you dry as you sit off the deck.

Is the Nextgen 10 Mk2 compatible with a fish finder?

Yes, the Nextgen 10 Mk2 comes with a track rail system pre-installed to mount the fish finder and a transducer plate underneath to mount the transducer.

Do you have instructions on how to position a transducer for a fish finder on the NextGen 10?

Unfortunately, we don’t have instructions. However, the transducer normally is zip-tied to the transducer plate, the whole compartment fills with water it will not obstruct any transmission or reception. You need to unscrew the four screws holding the transducer plate, then zip tie the transducer to that plate. You then need to run the wiring up the hole which is located in front of the long hatch, then screw the transducer wiring into the fish finder.

Please note: When installing the transducer please ensure the right orientation as if the transducer is upside down it will not work.

What do HDPE, LDPE and LLDPE stand for?

• Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) is softer and more flexible than HDPE. It also has a lower melting point (115° C) and is more transparent. Compared to HDPE, it is more likely to crack under stress.
• Linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) is a copolymer of ethylene and another longer olefin, which is incorporated to improve properties such as tensile strength or resistance to harsh environments.
• High-density polyethylene (HDPE) is rigid and durable and offers greater chemical resistance. Its higher melting point (135° C) allows it to withstand higher temperatures than LDPE. Its more crystalline structure also results in greater strength. It also has greater opacity which results in greater vibrancy and longer-lasting colour.
