Glad to hear you made it through without any major losses most importantly your life. Something I was told was never leave the safety of your Kayak if you don't have to. I've read some post saying to get out of the Kayak and install the plug. I think you did it the right way. The getting flipped part, no one could see that one coming. I like Ful-Rac's bilge pump idea and may be doing that also.

Install that drain plug and don't remove it. Also seeing how your in a Moken, do a leak test on your front hatch seal. I know a lot of previous owners of Mokens that had leak issues and they were not minor leaks. Heck everyone should leak test their kayaks. Some leaks are going to happen, but when water fills up like a bath tub, that's not right.

Glad you're O.K. man.
