I guess I should start installing a CO2 flooding system in the electrical distribution compartment on my kayak

Do you have room ? Come on now, An explosion on a kayak? An explosion does not happen when saltwater comes in contact with a 7amp power source leads, hooked up to a bait tank. This kayak had alot more going on than we know about.lol

It was so quiet out there today I almost fell asleep a couple times. At least it was abeautiful day, and the water was so clear, you could see down forever.

The exploding kayaks scared away all of the fish.lol

Does anybody seriously think that I would install a CO2 fire suppression system on my kayak?
