Send it back to Cobra and have them patch it for you.

That's the beauty of a Cobra kayaks with their lifetime warranty.

I had my navigator repaired by them, they did an excellent job, added foam bulkheads and even put in a hatch for free to get access to the other side of the crack.

My cobra explorer started taking on water. What I did was close all my hatches and opened the drain plug, I then rigged a hand air pump to the drain plug hole and made it as air tight as I could , douse the outside of the yak with car wash soap and pumped away. Bubbles will form wherever air escapes.

I would try this before filling your yak up w/water, oh and also check to make sure your drain plug is water tight too.
