Have you ordered a better rubber seal for you hatches? I took a large wave over the bow Saturday morning. The inside of the yak was completely flooded for about 2 seconds. The big opening for the mirage drive drained the water out fast. I was relieved to see how fast the PA recovered from a fast filling. I feel even better with the new seals in place for the next run. I ordered the rubber seal from Moore Industrial Hardware. 10 feet. Part 7100-1/16-C. 1-888-666-7344. I found this on the Hobie PA forum.

Haven't even got the PA yet! Hopefully, I will be picking it up on Thursday. I just installed new seals on both my Revo's Saturday though. Its amazing how tight the new seals are or rather how loose the old seals were and how quickly they deteriorated. If I get the PA Thursday, I will definitely be in the water Friday.

Dunno know yet....If I can get the day off from work, I'll stay out there all day...especially now with a PA, I won't have to urinate on myself and can stand up and pee! haha. I can also bring some real food to eat.....don't have to nibble of freaking protien bars anymore!
