I agree with the other poster about NOT removing the drain plug. Screw in, screw out, over time the plastic won't seal anymore thus causing leakage or worse. My drain plugs are sealed with 5200.
Time to reconsider about the importance of private boaters when you have a situation as described. Some guys really bash them....not me. |

Dang... I'm a bit iffy about heading out solo after these two post now
 On my check list the first thing is check drain plug and a bit future down is check radio battery.

As tempting as it is at times, I NEVER NEVER go out alone for these exact reasons. Alone inside the harbor sure, outside in the open water NEVER.

Yeah I know the feeling. Keep in mind I have been out alone plenty of times and in conditions almost as bad so never figured it would happen to me and it did. If I go solo it will only be if I see others out and will ask to join them or stay close to shore.
It's not worth it, even for a seabass. Quote:

I had a similar experience some years ago. Luckily for me I was with a couple of my peeps. It could have been real serious. What I learned is: ALWAYS, ALWAYS were your PFD, regardless how good of a swimmer you think you are or how macho you think you are. ffice

a trick i learned from "Kiyo" (the legend) after having an incident of taking on water and almost sinking a kayak: if your hull fills with water, disconnect your bait tank intake line from the tank and stick the pump into your hull to pump the water out... (of course only that works if you have your pump dragging alongside the kayak)
