[terry1956]

Hi all, for family reasons I found myselve heading upto the lakes over the weekend, with the kayak on the top, having just picked it all up. during a break in my family duties I was able to take the kayak out on the coniston for a bit. Its a Prowler 13 angler edition. during my bit of a paddle around 1/2 an hour or so. I returned to find a lot of water had shipped into the hull, it must come down the rod hodders, is this normal??? there must of been 1/2 a gallon or so, no wonder I was slowing down,lols. any help would be great. thanks terry

is it only Ocean Kayaks that have that problem or are there any others with scupper problems

Andy at www.kayakfishinguk.net had a leaky scupper on his Perception Scooter. Don't know if it was down to a manufacturing fault or use and abuse in the surf. Worth taking a look at the thread he started.

Hi, thans all, but tell me what part of this kayak are the scuppers, heard of them but no idea of what part of the boat etc they are, always had the idea that this was the part the water drains from the deck, but where on a kayak, and what am I looking for???

Terry, the scuppers are the openings through the hull which allow the water to drain.
