I just bought a 10 ft Trailblazer 100 Kayak by Pelican and am trying to find a cockpit cover. What would be recommended?

I also would like to know. I talked to the Canadian manufacturer and they said they have nothing for this model. Shrink wrap? :)

What cover did you end up getting? I just got a pelican trailblazer and am interested.

We have 2 Old Town Loon 100s. The cover is far better than not having one. We had lots of trouble with bugs and dirt and water getting inside if we left them outside, even if we leaned them against a tree. I would advise measuring the length and width of the opening and checking them against the dimensions of the cover. Ours is a bit tricky to stretch length-wise to cover, but it does have elastic to hold it on. I still can't leave it upright in the rain, as water will weigh the cover down until the water seeps into the kayak. I am still glad I bought this cover, it just still takes a bit of monitoring.

if the guide doesnt include your kayak model and make call their 800 number and they will tell you which model is the best fit.

I think something like Duck Brand 1100731 Select Grip Easy Liner would work better for non-slippage needs. We use this on the boat and it works great! It is not waterproof, but this allows for air circulation (on the boat that's a real plus - perhaps in a camper also).

Im not sure where a cover can be found. I would probably start with Amazon and then probably check ebay. Lastly I would check the CRAIG eelectrnics website.

Sorry,but you need a mount of some kind. If you're at all handy,you can make one. I made them for my kayaks but they all mountbehind the cockpits. Blow up a pic of one and copy it. .....Bill

I have the same boat. I purchased the 24' size and it covers the motor as well - even with the middle tented. The only drawback is the excess baggage on the rear sides, but after some head scratching and trial-and-error, it works out. There will be a tendency for the cover to form pockets back there that catch water, but it's not a big deal. I would buy the same size again.

I'd recommend the Kaytee brand one. It's twice the size and half the price as this one.

Here's the info I collected on the Trailblazer. I hope the table transfers well enough to read.

Check length and width of your boat and the cover you wish to purchase. I suggest considering a cover one size up

My cover was purchased via Amazon from Ed Young's True Value. It was for a two-shelf model. They might have one for your model as well.

Probably. The cockpit cover I bought was not exactly the size of the cockpit I wanted to cover. The cover has elastic draw strings so you can stretch and adjust. If you are using a kayak withe a large cockpit and you expect a whole lot of rain store the kayak upside down after putting on the cover. Lots of rain can cause the cover to cave in from the weight.

I have an Eagle Talon 12 by Field & Steam, I looked at your Kayak, it will most defiantly work

Go to the Pelican website. I believe I saw them advertise replacement foam for their cases.

Go to www.bakflip.com. You can enter your truck info and the site directs you to the appropriate cover.

I used Seals' web site to match up my kayak's make/model number with their recommended cockpit cover. I did not even have to measure my opening. I hope their site works for you too! Good luck.

Petco has a 36" x 18" glass cover from Tetra that should work just fine for you. I only say this because I looked, but need 12" deep instead and couldn't use theirs. So here I am on the internet trying to buy what I need... ;)

Yes, it's not as good as say pelican cases but a pelican case is 3 times the price. If you dropped it in water and whatever was it didn't exceed it's buoyancy it would keep it dry. It also vents for altitude changes automatically. I have used one to keep my carbine in on our dive boat it works great. The built in locks are a bonus.

I would invest in a cheap cover to be honest. The one I got on Amazon works great, even in high wind. Brinkmann 812-1092-S Universal Grill Cover, 55-Inch. It has a draw string on the bottom to keep it in place nicely.
