Pelican/Coleman canoe seat separation
Wonder if anyone's seen anything like this before?
http://www.geocities.com/sblume/download3.jpg http://www.pelican-intl.com/touring.html http://www.coleman.com/coleman/colem...tegoryid=66001 This is the second season of lake canoeing for us. The water can get a bit choppy. Sunlight on the black seats heat them up pretty good. Except for the trip from the dealer, the canoe has not been transported. A couple of weeks ago we noticed tears in the midships and bow seats. The midships seat has never been used. There are three tears, each about two inches long at the 90 degree bend where the seat meets the gunnel.When we contacted the dealer, he in turn contacted Pelican. We were advised that the separation was likely from canoeing without the seat pedestals, (no, never done that) and they could send us some metal brackets to patch the tears. They did not offer to replace the seats, in spite of a "two year limited warrantee". Anyone have a similar experience? Steve sblume at yahoo dot com |
