I personally like it as an option, especially if I need extra long reach to the stern.

Heck REI even markets them as bilge pumps:

Why on earth did I read this post before I went out yesterday. I found myself sinking and I never touch my drain plug. Fun Day.

What weighs more, a yak full of water or a yak full of fish?

Yeapers, a very small hole on the rear where I was sinking. I use a very large towel to soak up the water and then wring it out. Repeat over and over again. It actually works really well and the soaked towel works great to keep the catch wet and cool.

How do I repair this? I saw plastic welder at the hardware shop, is this the best way for a very small hole? I plan on keeping a couple layers of high grade black duct tale over the area and replace when needed.

How I got the hole, very simple .... I like to lobster hoop net and for that I usually use a grader launch ramp.
