Seals Neoprene Kayak Cockpit Cover

I bought this top for my kayak and it fit perfectly. I store my kayak in my garage and I don't want crittersmaking nests in my boat so I bought this cover. Since it is new, the fit is pretty tight but over time, it doesloosen up but still keeps a good fit. I'm very happy with this cover.

So, I know lots of people online say, "Does Not Fit My Kayak", an in particular to "Allan in Seattle", and others that complain this does NOT fit the Wilderness Systems Tsunami 125, it DOES fit, if you approach putting it on correctly. Read on...I too had problems putting this on, IF YOU START FROM THE REAR AND WORK FORWARDS! The tether handle it has makes one think, that end is attached last. It's a human-factors issue, it's the way humans think. BUT... That's not how you put this on. Instead IF YOU START FROM THE FRONT AND WORK BACKWARDS, leaving the tether in the front, it will easily install.So, what I do, is this... straddling the kayak, one leg either side, facing rearwards, slip the tether end over the front of the cockpit, and slip the cover over the first 16 inches or so of the cockpit. THEN sit gently on the cover (so you're not crushing your poor kayak), bum at the front of the cockpit. Taking your two hands, facing towards the rear of the kayak, grabbing either side of the remaining portion of the cover, slip it over the back of the cockpit rail. Work your hands around the sides of the cockpit, making sure the elastic cord slips under the rail all the way around the cockpit. Step away, Voilà! It's put on.I agree it was not intuitive, and perhaps the edge of the cover could be made of a rubberized material to make it more sticky to the kayak, but it seems to work pretty good.So for the manufacturer, two recommendations:1. Good instructions could come along with the cover from the manufacturer.2. Adhere a rubberized material to the edge of the cover to make it tacky/grippy with the canoe (it will likely make it less durable in the longer term (on the scale of years), but it would make it less resilient to pop off.Hope this helps folks

I have an Eddyline Skylark and this cockpit cover fits perfectly. I leave it on when not in use, even while transporting it on my rooftop down the highway. It hasn't lost the snug fit and seems to be very durable. No complaints on this one. Great fit

It is snug!! I don't think it'll come off at all. Happy to have found a cockpit cover to keep potential critters out that fits.

Fits my Pyranah machno perfect

I travel several hours to whitewater rivers and I have lost 3 NRS covers over the years. These are perfect because as you can see in my picture, the strap can be tied to the kayak and when they blow off, I don't lose them.

I love this thing. I can store all of the essentials for a day trip in the boats so that when we go out on the river or lake all I have to do is put them on the car and go. When we get there I can just take them off the car and go. No more finding everything in the basement or garage or a combination of the 2 and double checking to make sure I have everything or digging it out of the trunk of the car upon arrival.The best part is I don't have to worry about the skunks trying to make my kayak their home anymore. Yes, it happened. Yes, it still smells. Not nearly as bad thanks to Dead Down Wind field spray (side note) but now I don't have to check in the bow and stern for vagabond animals making either boat a Holiday Inn Express. I highly recommend these.

1.7 fits perfectly on our dagger stratos 14.5 kayaks. No issues traveling on interstate. Keeps unwanted guest out of the cockpit while camping. 100% happy with this purchase.
