Take your yak to OEX, they can plastic weld the holes so you will never know where they were. OR Hobie makes a welding kit with a soldering iron and different pieces of colored kayak material. But most of us shave off a piece of plastic from the yak and fill the hole with soldering iron and plastic, please do not use torch unless you have excelect skills. You can practice on a 5 gallon bucket to get the feel for the technique, shave off some plactic, drill some holes and try filling them. Within a half hour you should get the hang of it. Good luck.
