Water in my boat - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

in case anyone cares....

$8 at the local Hobie dealer got me a new o-ring seal for the 8" hatch. Also, made a new drain pipe for the bait tank out of some flexible tubing. Now I can adjust the water height in the tank and there is a bit sticking out the bottom to go into the scupper and make sure the water actually leaves the boat instead of pooling up in that back compartment.

This adventure has made me consider an electric bilge pump...I carry a manual one, but it would be hard to drive and pump at the same time.

Anyway, problem solved and nothing as serious as a crack.

Tight lines!
