Shipping Damage Free Guarantee

Accessory Shipments

Paddles, PFDs, dry bags, helmets, skirts, motors, rod holders, and accessories ship UPS, FedEx, or USPS Ground.

It lands on your doorstep like any other package. We email tracking the day it leaves our shop.

Order gear on the same order as a kayak we're hand delivering or shipping, and it comes with the kayak.

Kayak Shipments

We deliver kayaks two ways. Inside our delivery area, we bring your boat to you ourselves. Everywhere else, it ships LTL freight with a carrier that reports a 99.9% damage-free delivery rate. We'll tell you which one you're getting once your order is placed along with more details.

If we hand deliver it

Nothing to inspect, nothing to sign at the curb. We're the ones unloading your kayak, so if anything is wrong, tell us right there and we'll take care of it. We will call before hand for a meetup place.

If it ships LTL freight

Look the boat over before you sign the delivery receipt. If you see damage, write it on the receipt. That one step is what protects your claim. Then email clear photos to helpdesk@cfoutdoors.com within 2 hours of delivery. We also will email you more details on this process once the order is placed.

What we cover

Structural damage. Anything that compromises the hull or would void the manufacturer's warranty, confirmed with the vendor. We make it right.

Cosmetic damage. Light scratches or minor surface dents that don't affect performance or structure. We send a repair kit when one is available. If you'd rather have a replacement, a 20% restocking fee applies plus full shipping back to us.

Jackson Kayak improved the seal on their hatch kits at the beginning of the 2020 season, and that does not mean you have to miss out. This kit brings the newer seal to an older boat.

It is the complete swap, not a piece of one. You get the flush mount hatch, the flush hatch ring, the rectangle flush hatch gasket, and all 14 of the 18-8 stainless #12 x 1 screws you need to replace the old hatch on your Blue Sky.

A hatch that has gone chalky, cracked at a corner, or stopped sealing is the difference between dry storage and a wet tackle box. Replacing the whole assembly at once means the hatch, ring and gasket are all the same generation and seal the way they were designed to.

What Is In The Kit

  • 1x Flush mount hatch
  • 1x Flush hatch ring
  • 1x Rectangle flush hatch gasket
  • 14x 18-8 stainless steel #12 x 1 screws

Key Features

  • Improved Seal: The updated hatch seal Jackson Kayak introduced for the 2020 season.
  • Complete Assembly: Hatch, ring and gasket together, so every part is the same generation.
  • All Hardware Included: All 14 screws come in the kit.
  • 18-8 Stainless Screws: The right hardware for a boat that lives in the water.
  • Retrofits Older Boats: Brings the newer seal to a pre-2020 Blue Sky.
  • Rectangular Flush Hatch: The rectangle hatch opening, not the round one.

Blue Sky Boatworks Rectangular Hatch Kit Questions, Answered

What exactly comes in the kit?

One flush mount hatch, one flush hatch ring, one rectangle flush hatch gasket, and the 14 18-8 stainless #12 x 1 screws. That is everything needed to replace the old hatch on your Blue Sky, with nothing else to source.

Can I buy just the ring or just the gasket?

Jackson Kayak sells this as a complete kit rather than as individual pieces. That is usually the better outcome anyway. A new gasket against an old ring, or a new ring against a warped hatch, tends to leak in a way that a matched set does not.

My boat is older than 2020. Will this fit?

That is who the kit is for. Jackson Kayak improved the hatch seal at the start of the 2020 season, and this kit exists so owners of earlier boats can get the improved seal rather than being stuck with the original.

Is this the round hatch or the rectangular one?

Rectangular. Measure your opening before ordering, since Blue Sky boats carry more than one hatch shape and the parts are not interchangeable.

Do I need anything to install it?

A screwdriver and a few minutes. The screws are in the box. Clean the old sealant and debris off the deck surface before you set the new gasket down, because a gasket only seals as well as the surface under it.

How does it ship?

Ships parcel, nationwide. It packs down small enough to box, so it goes out as a standard ground shipment.
