How to fix deformed kayak hull
 

Left the kayak on a stand for a few months. I notice a the keel is deformed from the stand. How do I fix it?? The kayak is a Malibu xfactor.

Boiling water
 

Preheating it in the hot summer sun won't hurt either . After pouring the boiling water onto the affected area, press the indented section and it should take to its natural or original position .

This worked for me.

The valve adapter on my plastic Walmart pump that I use for my float tube fit the drain hole perfectly and I was able to do the whole thing without help.
