Leaky Boat - Finally diagnosed - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

So I did the Lexel slather up the scupper tube. Let it cure since Monday.

Tonight I went out, flipped the boat and duct taped up the bottom of the scupper.

Flipped the boat back up, then I poured in a cup or so of water - up to the top and over the scupper. I let it sit.

I come inside. The Dodgers have tied it!

I go back out - still holding!

I come inside. Dodgers are playing like peewee leaguers.

I go back out - still holding!

Dinner comes. I grind. Watch the Lakers pull away from the mighty OKC Thunder.

I go back out (like 90 minutes later)... STILL HOLDING!

I think this is fixed. I'm pretty excited.

I'm going for an early AM paddle on Thursday on the way to the office. Gotta get the new paddle wet. Gotta check the scup.

Thanks for the tips, guys. This may have worked!
