hope some one can help
thank you

Pelican procedures
I have been in contact with Pelican several times about different things and the first thing Linda, we are on a first name basis now, ask me is what is the serial number of the boat. They seem lost and confused without that number. She usually responds back quickly and gives me their multi digit and letter model number for the kayak in question then ask me what I need. I think there may be some language barrier as Linda speaks French for the most part. If you have the serial number you are good to go as they get right on your request. Without it, well, you are as the French say, SOL.

I would guess that Linda isn’t sure what
parts diagram to work from, without the serial number. Some folks would be able to decide from a customer’s verbal description.

a parts sheet is what i had asked about and that didnt seem to be an option.im assuming there must be a couple different designs. I cant beleive there is. so i guess i will have to go on first trip with no hatch and everything exposed. that sucks.I cant beleive i cant get parts with out driving 4 1/2 hrs. in spring in need of a serial #



anyone have a number off there catalyst i could use?
