I am on my 3rd PA14, a 2016 model. The older models would take gallons of water via the front hatch from the surf launch. The newer models have a lid gasket that has greatly reduced that ingress. I lined my 2016 hatch lid with some HomeDepo window gaskets, and that has hugely reduced leakage. Recently I have been noticing about a gallon of water at the end of the day on calm days when I did not take any water over the bow. After each catch, I bucket the deck clean and suspect the lower rod tubes are the source of this ingress.
