Standard features of the Profisha 475:

2. 2 drain holes – One for the fish hatch and one for the kayaks hull, these bungs are a simple screw in type and easy to open and close.
3. Paddle vinyl pad and elastic – a protective pad is used here to prevent the slipping around of your paddle when it is secured under the paddle elastic.The paddle elastic is shock cord with a clear tubing to keep your paddle secure on the vinyl pad. The mat also reduces the amount of scratching when slipping your paddle in and out of the elastic.
4. Stickers are used to give you a superior look and feel on the branding of the kayak.
5. Carbon fiber fish hatch lid – the lid is made from carbon fiber to keep it lighter than std fiberglass as well as a little stiffer and a superior look and feel.This lid gives you easy access to a large central fish hatch. There is also a protective pad on the hatch lid which can be used for cutting your bait.
6. Central fish hatch – this is a very large central storage area used for stowing your rods and reels when launching and beaching in rough waters and of course as well as excellent storage for those big fish you catch.the hatch has a built in rod shoot which curves upwards so that when your rods are stored they can be kept above the fish and anything else you have in the hatch. View a video about it here.
7. Live bait well – this a new addition to our kayaks. There is an inlet and outlet in the bait well which allows fresh water to enter and old water to exit out the bottom of the kayak while you are paddling. This continuously change in water keeps the oxygen supply fresh and therefore your bait will stay alive for long period of time. View a video about it here.
8. Stainless steel rod bar – this cleverly designed rod bar allows you to place the butt of your rod on it to keep the rods up and out the way of anything inside the hatch. Reducing   the chances of your prize rods and reels getting covered in fish slime and blood.
9. Splash strip – this is used to secure your hatch lid to the kayak but also acting as a prevention for the waves forcing water under the lid when launching through the surf.
10. Hatch lever locks – these superior lever lock cam straps allow you to apply maximum pressure to your fish hatch lid when securing it closed.The fold over cam creates that extra pressure to make sure the least amount of water can get into your hatch if you accidentally roll over in your kayak.
