Malibu Stealth 12 taking on water - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Fishin' Magician · 04-23-2014, 05:26 AM

I'd suggest taking to the Malibu Kayak factory. They're in So. Cal. but I can't remember what city they're in. Chatsworth? I've been there a couple of times and they seemed helpful enough. They might be willing to take a look at it and may even redo the seals around the hatches for you.

Either that or take it to Andy at OEX Sunset Beach and see if he can fix it for you. Leaks of any kind are not good, but if it leaks a lot, that's not very safe.

I also like the idea of the bilge pump and may look into that myself. Thanks for the suggestion and the tips on how to install! Sounds like a great DIY project for a weekend.
