Cardiff Sat 4/17 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

GregAndrew · 04-17-2010, 08:51 AM

I don't know about the Revo in particular, but most yaks even without hatches are not very water tight. I saw a video recently of a guy that put his yak on a stand upside-down and filled it with water. Just about every screw, bolt and rivet leaked. So I checked it out on my Trident and found the same results, except for the molded-in attachments. A few of the leaks were enough to amount to an oz. of water in just a couple of seconds. Unfortunately, I cannot get to a bunch of the hardware to goop it from the inside.
