Now this video is for those that doubted the kayak insurance thread.

$10/month & $250/deductible doesn't sound so bad now

Nice save.

Ermmm how is that?

What is the claim? "My kayak almost sunk and my pride took $300 of damage so I want fifty bucks?"

You're still out $70 for the year!

I guess the biggest question here is why did it sink? I see the kayak had one of those through a hatch bait tanks, was that the issue again?
Things can go wrong on the water, wear a pfd, if in waders wear a wading belt, have communication equipment, ie VHF and keep a bildge pump where you can get to it.
Nice Save Greg.

Nice Save Greg.

I have one of those Kayaks with a bait tank that fits into the rear scupper hole. I once blocked the drain hole not knowing it. The back of the yak slowly started to fill with water. I didn't notice it right away (still dark/grey light), but the water falling out of the overflow of the bait tank didn't sound right and when I turned with a light to see what was going on, the back of the yak was at sea-level and I freaked.

After unplugging the pump, I realized the plugged drain hole and 3 minutes later I was good, the water drained. I checked the middle hatch, hardly water inside. The seal between bait-tank and kayak kept water from entering the hull.

I'd be real curious to know how this happened. Any fixes?

well done. Right place at the right time and the right thing. I have that same boat, curious about the cause of the flooding.
Was this SD Bay? The oddest thing about the tale is that there wasn't a coast, guard, naval security, home land security, coast gaurd auxiliary, harbor police, boarder patrol, DEA, or customs patrol boat right on the scene. It seams that I can't ever get more than a 1/4 mile away from one of those "authorities". Mike

Please don't limit yourself to literal terms, but think figuratively.

Cost = Peace of mind.
