Before you do anything ocean related

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A HAND BILGE PUMP

Do not ever launch without one

Yes I went big up front but I figured I could offset some of the $$$ by taking fewer offshore multi-day trips now that I have the yak. Will still have to get my Tuna fix in from time to time however.

The crate covering is by PrecisionPak and behind it I just have a NRS soft cooler although it's pretty neat with the removable inner liner.

Check on the Bilge pump, guess I'll see how much water I take on when I hit La Jolla.

Brian, will do!

The stealth do have a history or leaking, mine does too.

Make sure you pull the bungees on the gator hatch down around the knobs in the bow. Yup. that is what they're for, took me quite a while to figure that out lol.
