Hi all

Had a good old paddle today....great fun! No fishin yet, just getting used to handling!. No leaks anywhere in this un I am glad to say!...I agree with Jaffa, checking your kayak individually has gotta make sense. I messed around today pushing bow/stern under water and driving hatch into waves to try to get water ingress (not a drop). The hatches on this new one have double seals (unlike the first one!) I suppose ALL models and makes have the odd yak made on a Friday afternoon when everyone wants to knock off work early, therefore neglecting quality work a tad LOL YY Hope you get sorted out sooooon! I am itching to get going fishing on my yak......some pics (a bit rushed sorry!) follow......cheers all.........SDD

After and Fore burner YY LOL

Hatches on NZ model are recessed for the straps and have double seals, which seem very watertight

There are two threaded holes for some kind of attachment, used it to mount my GPS holder! ALL fitting screws etc are built into the hull moulding so cannot leak! very gadgy I thought!!

Tankwell on this one has one scupper hole instead of the two very small ones on the previous model! Works better I think!

[SeaDooDavid]

The mouldings for the handles seem much more substantial than the other one (lesson learnt by OK maybe Jaffa?)

 

[SeaDooDavid]

Moulding for another drain plug (simply drill out and add plug!!

 

[SeaDooDavid]

Just noticed! On this pic of my "returned" Scupper, it has NO drainplugs! How odd!
