BAIT TANKS FOR KAYAKS - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I've had thru hull fittings in the bottom of my Malibu for 3 years, in my OK Cabo for 4 years. No problem.

The scupper hole and the drain plugs are the weakest points on an eXtreme. I put a three inch gash thru the hull of my eXtreme. It was repaired in Huntington at the factory. They used melted poly to repair. It leaked. I used 5200 to seal the gash. No more leak for three years.

Thru hull fittings and 5200 have been keeping real boats a float for decades. Real boat owners use them all the time. Kayaks are easy and safe to fit because of the characteristics linear polyethylene.

The world is not flat.
