that is an idea, cut a dowel to take up most of the space, then duct tape the bottom and squeeze hot glue in around dowel. Plugged up don't see how it could fail on you out on the water.

I like the pvc idea better, may work with hot glue, G Flex epoxy, 5200 or Marine goop.

My opinion is to forget about marine Goop. It doesn't stick to your kayak. It's only good as a gasket sealer. It also seems to absorb water and swell up. I'd use 5200 or something that actually adheres to the plastic.
